Why is Technology Innovation so powerful when applied successfully?
Professor Clay Christensen described the phenomenon of ‘disruptive innovation’ (see him 
describe his concept in brief here in video) whereby a new innovative technology disrupts an established industry and most of the existing market leaders go bust.
Why does Technology Innovation matter?
To begin with a technology innovation, such as Google, is not seen as a market threat. However eventually the business models of existing players Yellow Pages, newspapers, magazines and other media businesses are faced with extinction. Technology Innovation is particularly powerful where the new technology is combined with a new business model concept. While Google was a somewhat better search engine than leading competitors such as AltVista, when it was combined with the new business model of ‘paid search’ it became an unstoppable force.
