Disruption seems to be a very popular term in the media recently. Traditionally, something described as disruptive has a negative connotation. However, this new definition can be viewed as positive, depending on whether you believe in the status quo or not.
In 1995, Clayton M. Christensen and colleagues in the business world coined and began using the term “disruptive innovation” to describe the creation of new markets and networks through innovations that would “eventually disrupt an existing market and network, displacing established market-leading firms, products, and alliances.”
