Description
Using Professor Christensen's
Theory of Disruptive Innovation as a tool, identify two emerging information
technologies from the Hype Cycle that may have potential
disruptive power in the industry you work for or you are familiar with. Write a
brief paper that addresses the following:
1.
Using the Theory of Disruptive Innovation as a tool, explain why
you think these two technologies (from most recent Hype Cycle) may have the potential disruptive
power? Create a table* in your appendix as one of the required visuals to

Note, if you are using your own industry (or one you are familiar with or
interested in) and have a hard time working with the hype cycle for emerging
technologies, you may look for and use other hype cycles that apply to the
industry in question (for example, Google "hype cycle for healthcare
images" or "hype cycle for data science images," etc.) - be
aware that you will likely not be able to access the document from Gartner
without paying, but you should be able to find the image for the hype cycle
which should suffice for this assignment, since all hype cycles follow the same
stages.
