“…Another key aspect of Christensen's theory is that ambitious, flashy innovations are the least likely to achieve disruption (Christensen & Dillon, 2020). If a challenger becomes the target of stiff business competition before they are strong enough to withstand it, they are more likely to fall foul of their own ambitions.…”

What do blockchain technologies imply for digital creative industries?

As the technology that powers cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, blockchains are associated with volatile and (as yet) largely unregulated financial trade, but they are also about more than money. This capacity to help automate, incentivize and authenticate global trade has numerous potential applications. Blockchain technologies promise efficient transactions, greater accountability of trade and increased/direct payment for creative enterprise. As such, despite their lingering technical challenges, these nascent technologies are already being employed within a wide variety of creative innovation processes. Based upon research into their potential applications within Scotland's digital creative industries, this study explores the ways in which these emerging technologies might disrupt digital creative industries, such as digital media production, digital art, web/interface/experience design, application development, extended reality and gaming, both in Scotland and beyond. Of particular interest are the ways that these emerging technologies might transform value exchange and intellectual property management. Early results indicate that blockchain technologies are poised to substantially disrupt the sale and distribution of creative digital works. Yet, whilst these emerging technologies can encourage open innovation, it also seems likely that they will just as often be used to streamline existing systems designed to control and potentially exploit creativity. The implications for digital disruption theories are discussed, highlighting the need for frameworks that can also account for second‐order disruptions.

“…In this framework, FOAM is a market-creating, disruptive type of innovation in medical education [19][20][21]. New-market innovations seek to fulfill a need in an unserved population-sometimes to provide goods or services offered by incumbent entities to those populations that could not afford or could not access those products.…”

Background Free open-access meducation (FOAM) refers to open-access, web-based learning resources in medicine. It includes all formats of digital products, including blogs and podcasts. The number of FOAM blog and podcast sites in emergency medicine and critical care increased dramatically from 2002 to 2013, and physicians began to rely on the availability of these resources. The current landscape of these FOAM sites is unknown. Objective This study aims to (1) estimate the current number of active, open-access blogs and podcasts in emergency medicine and critical care and (2) describe observed and anticipated trends in the FOAM movement using the Theory of Disruptive Innovation by Christensen as a theoretical framework. Methods The authors used multiple resources and sampling strategies to identify active, open-access blogs and podcasts between April 25, 2022, and May 8, 2022, and classified these websites as blogs, podcasts, or blogs+podcasts. For each category, they reported the following outcome measures using descriptive statistics: age, funding, affiliations, and team composition. Based on these findings, the authors projected trends in the number of active sites using a positivist paradigm and the Theory of Disruptive Innovation as a theoretical framework. Results The authors identified 109 emergency medicine and critical care websites, which comprised 45.9% (n=50) blogs, 22.9% (n=25) podcasts, and 31.2% (n=34) blogs+podcasts. Ages ranged from 0 to 18 years; 27.5% (n=30) sold products, 18.3% (n=20) used advertisements, 44.0% (n=48) had institutional funding, and 27.5% (n=30) had no affiliation or external funding sources. Team sizes ranged from 1 (n=26, 23.9%) to ≥5 (n=60, 55%) individuals. Conclusions There was a sharp decline in the number of emergency medicine and critical care blogs and podcasts in the last decade, dropping 40.4% since 2013. The initial growth of FOAM and its subsequent downturn align with principles in the Theory of Disruptive Innovation by Christensen. These findings have important implications for the field of medical education.

“…As Suzuki et al (2011) describe with the help of the Japanese notion of Shoshin as translation for the beginner's mind, there is a paradox of learning. More learning can reduce a learner's or practitioner's openness for further learning -a misfit to today's changing world with past-future asymmetries (Weinert, 2013) and disruption (Christensen & Dillon, 2020).…”
