We are investigating the meaning of the term "disrupt" in different semantic fields.

ECONOMY

In economy the term disruptive is strictly connected with the Theory of technologies or Disruption innovation. A disruptive technology or disruptive innovation is an innovation that helps create a new market and value network, and eventually goes on to disrupt an existing market and value network (over a few years or decades), displacing an earlier technology there. The term is used in business and technology literature to describe innovations that improve a product or service in ways that the market does not expect, typically first by designing for a different set of consumers in the new market and later by lowering prices in the existing market.

Disruptive = characterized by unrest or disorder or insubordination; causing disruption or unrest

Disruption = the act of breaking regular flow or continuity of something; disturbance; a disorderly outburst or tumult; dislocation, especially an event resulting in dislocation or discontinuity

"Disrupt or be disrupted. Disrupt or die. Disruption is the most powerful idea in business today.' - Tom Peters
