Abstract: Abstract Christensen’s model of disruption is recently facing pushbacks. We resolve parts of the ambiguities by putting disruption theory into the context of technological regimes. Based on a review of empirical patterns, we show that the success of a potentially disruptive start-up is co-determined by firm-specific innovation capability, stage of industry evolution and technological regime. The main proposition of this chapter is, that industries over time typically develop from an entrepreneurial regime into a routinized regime, however, this process might be reversed by disruptive innovations. As a consequence, competitive advantage is pushed forth and back between entrepreneurial start-ups and incumbent firms.
