“…Keller and Hüsig (2009) believed that disruptive innovation has the similar characteristics with the one proposed by Christensen as follows : (1) disruptive innovation allows products to have a new set of attributes; (2) disruptive innovative products do not meet expectations of mainstream customers in one or several existing attributes, therefore disruptive innovation only focuses on a niche market; (3) incumbents neglect the niche market due to the contrary innovation process or value with entrants; (4) the entrants further enhance innovation and improve attributes valued by mainstream customers; (5) incumbents lack the necessary competitiveness in innovation and they cannot provide new attributes, therefore they fail. Summerer (2012) mentioned that disruptive innovation often changes products or services in a way that the market does not expect, typically in a lower-price way or personalized customization for a group of customers, which usually has features that mainstream customers do not want initially, but these features were valued by marginal or new customers. Klenner et al (2013) mentioned that disruptive innovation brings a different combination of performances to the market.…”

Disruptive innovation has attracted much interest, discussion and argument in academia and industry since it was defined. Based on a review of the related research publications, this paper aims to clarify the concept of disruptive innovation on controversies, summarize ex-ante studies on project management for disruptive product innovation, and propose potential research areas of the disruptive product innovation. The ex-ante studies are classified into three aspects: timing and conditions of disruptive innovation, factors for the implementation of disruptive innovation, forecasting and implementation of disruptive innovation. After a review of the existing methods of disruptive innovation, the potential research of disruptive innovation is presented.

“…It is argued that this situation might be dissipating in the aerospace sector, as it is prone to changes coming from radical and disruptive innovation. Therefore, Summerer (2012) intended to advance and stimulate discussion on the organization of disruptive innovation mechanisms specifically for the aerospace sector.…”

Purpose -This paper aims to unravel the technological innovation pattern in China's aerospace industry. The technological innovation pattern of China's aerospace industry is identified and its theoretical foundation, structure, philosophy, formation and effects on the development of China's aerospace industry are explored. Design/methodology/approach -First, the theoretical foundation of synergy innovation of China's aerospace industry is reviewed to further identify the technological innovation pattern. Second, Chinese ancient philosophy (dialectical thinking) is used to explain the structure and process of synergy innovation in China's aerospace industry. Third, the formation process of synergy innovation is introduced, and, finally, the effects of synergy innovation are discussed. Findings -The technological innovation pattern of China's aerospace industry has undergone an evolutionary process. During this process, China's aerospace firms have formed a unique technological innovation pattern, synergy innovation, under China's special political and economic background. The synergy innovation has three characteristics, including original, integrated and application-based. The synergy innovation pattern application is one of the most important reasons behind the great achievements of China's aerospace industry. Originality/value -A unique technological innovation pattern, synergy innovation, is proposed for the first time. A new perspective for understanding innovation is provided by applying the Chinese dialectical thinking to decipher the philosophy of the technological innovation pattern. Based on this, this paper suggests that China's aerospace industry should follow the situation and apply the synergy innovation pattern to achieve development and growth. This paper also illustrates a multi-method approach and emphasizes the different levels of organizing for innovation.

“…The space sector in respect to science missions has been characterized as a monopsony market in which the government is the main investor in space related technologies (Szajnfarber & Weigel, 2007;Summerer, 2012). It can be argues that the military has similar dynamics while to commercial market resemble more an Oligopolistic market structure.…”

“…In the space sector, a distinction can be made between basic technology development and mission specific technology development. When looking through the so called technology push and demand pull models, basic technology developments can be identified as the technology push factor, mission specific technology developments can be identified as the demand pull factor (Summerer, 2012). Especially technology push investments result in breakthrough technologies whereas demand pull investments result in more incremental innovations (Nemet, 2009;Carayannis & Roy, 2000).…”

The theory of Disruptive Technologies explains the evolution of technologies that disturb the status quo of both dominant technology platforms and competitive market layouts. In this paper, the theory of Disruptive Technologies for the space sector is explored. This exploration is required because the Disruptive Technology theory is currently based upon the innovation dynamics of mass consumer markets, which are significantly different from the dynamics of the low volume, highly governmentally influenced space sector. The objective is to clarify the dynamics of innovation in space (with particular respect to technological disruptions) in order to help decision makers in their effort to support innovation in the development of space technologies. This is done by analyzing the dynamics of the space sector and the theory of Disruptive Technologies in respect to its applicability to the space sector. The result of these analyses leads to the creation of a theory that is tailored to the specific innovation dynamics of the space sector. The theory is termed Disruptive Space Technologies. Key element of this theory is the fact that Disruptive Technologies in the space sector focus mainly on technology disruption rather than market disruption.
