“The innovator’s dilemma”
Sustaining = improves product performance based on feedback from customers
Disruptive = lower performance in key features valued by the markets (appears as if it’s doing
everything wrong, born from a need that exists in niche market but is neglected by current offers).
Sustaining meets current needs, disruptive meets future needs.
