Unexpected technological developments enable innovators to offer new products and services that threaten incumbents. In order to survive, existing firms must be able to see a disruption on the horizon and figure out how to respond. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Search for Survival: Lessons from Disruptive Technologies\u003c\/i\u003e examines organizations that failed to develop a strategy for coping with a technological disruption and have suffered greatly or even gone out of business.
