Dear Fawad,

Yes, you are right, disruptive innovation and radical innovation are in principle two different but quite similar kinds/concepts of innovation. Currently we are doing a thorough case study in the biotechnology sector strongly indicating a reflective character of both approaches resp. a relationship in that sense. I could provide the working paper when we are ready.

Many greetings, Axel

Many thanks Heng! I have this paper for a while now. But unfortunately it does not give any answer to measure the disruptive capabilities of an organization that may act as a source of disruptive innovations.

Maybe:

Slater, S.F. et al.: Radical Product Innovation Capability: Literature Review, Synthesis, and Illustrative Research Propositions, Journal of Product Innovation Management, 2014, 552 - 566

could be of interest for you. We (Research Group "Innovationexcellence", University of Applied Sience and Arts, Dortmund, Germany) are currently developing and testing a measurement approach with respect to some of the ideas presented in this work (but this is still work in progress),

many greetings, Axel Faix

Thanks Axel! I think this paper will be helpful. How do you see Teece's Dynamic Capabilities in this context?

I have benefited of Teece´s Dynamic Capabilities in that context a lot although it is in some respect difficult to integrate that thoughts due to the dynamic charakter of the concept. However, quite helpful and inspiring as well has been Subramaniam, M./Youndt, M. A. (2005): The Influence of Intellectual Capital on the Types of Innovative Capabilities, in: Academy of Management Journal, Vol. 48, 2005, No. 3, S. 450 – 463, but I could imagine that you are familar with that paper too.

Thanks again Axel for the reply, I didn't have this paper. The concept of Disruptive innovation, in my opinion, is to some extent different from the Radical one and dynamic capabilities some how (if not completely) support this concept. Do you think the 3 item construct of Radical Innovation used in this paper, is reflective of the concept "disruptive innovation capabilities"?, as apparently the capabilities for disruptive innovation should include sensing the market (potential new entrants, new/upcoming technologies), conceptualizing the innovations etc.

Dear Fawad  please find in attachment the comprehensive thesis on Disruptive Innovation with Questionnaire of ( Christensen (2000)  

Christensen, C. M. 2000. The Innovator’s Dilemma: The Revolutionary National

Bestseller That Changed the Way We Do Business. Paperback edition. New York:

HarperBusiness..

You know there are 5 principles of Disruptive Technology (Christensen (2000)  

1-Companies Depend on Customers and Investors for Resources

2-. Small Markets Don’t Solve the Growth Needs of Large Companies

3-Markets That Don’t Exist Can’t Be Analyzed

4-An Organization’s Capabilities Define Its Disabilities

5-Technology Supply May Not Equal Market Demand

you know innovation is of four types: 

Incremental Innovation

Incremental Innovation is the most common form of innovation. It steers with  existing technology and increases value to the customer.

Disruptive Innovation

Disruptive innovation, or a  stealth innovation, means  applying new technology or processes to your company’s current market to enhance market share. 

Architectural Innovation

Architectural innovation is simply opting and learning lessons, required skills and  technology that company can apply  within a different market.  

Radical innovation

Radical innovation is the need based on cognition when management starts thinking that innovation must be.

Now by reading thesis you may find the answer of your question.

There are measures and metrics for assessing effectiveness in applying advanced technologies in products.

I believe the measures of disruptive management should be a subset of those measures or may be some variation of those. Disruptive innovations are those, which are identified to disrupt the competitors' business models. This is due to the fact that  some innovations do often outdate or outweigh the existing offerings (in terms of their pertinent qualities and features) of the products on which the business is often founded.

The following paper may provide some insights into those measures. Take a look. Thanks.

Innovation is another theoretical concept that may be applied and interpreted differently. You may learn how this research measured Knowledge Management.
