N2 - "Disruptive technology & disruptive innovation" have been
of scholarly interest for years, but there is still a
need to better understand the nature of disruptions and
their relationship to emerging technology processes. This
paper pursues these issues by analyzing the interplay of
technological emergence, disruption, and innovation.
Applying bibliometric methods, the paper explores the
conceptual foundations, themes, and research communities
within these research domains. The results highlight the
multiple theoretical foundations of research around
technological change processes, disruption, and
emergence. These differences among the domains invite
conceptual cross-fertilization and consideration of
interdisciplinary approaches to technological (and
commercial) emergence.
