Monoculture - Cultivation of a single money crop or other exportable product to the virtual exclusion of others

Disorganise - To disrupt an established system of relationships


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



APPLIED SCIENCES

Heinz von Foerster's theory

Heinz von foerster was a scientist but he was also connected to the Vienna's Circle and the philosophical community of the time. He has developed a long list of theories about the concept of complexity, including the theory of "order from disorder". He considers the unexpected and disruptive events something positive to achieve more stable new order.
