New book edited by Professor Peter Ping Li
"Disruptive Innovation in Chinese and Indian Businesses.The Strategic Implications for Local Entrepreneurs and Global Incumbents" (Routledge) is edited by Professor Peter Ping Li, Asia Research Centre, Department of International Economics and Management. The book will be valuable to both scholars and practitioners interested in disruptive innovation and those working in the fields of Asian studies, international business, economics and globalization.
The book sheds new light on disruptive innovations both from and for the bottom of the pyramid in China and India, from the point of view of local entrepreneurs and international firms seeking to operate their businesses there. It covers both the theoretical and practical implications of disruptive innovation using conceptual frameworks alongside detailed case studies, whilst also providing a comparison of conditions and strategic options in India and China. The book also focuses on the neglected perspective of local challengers as the primary players, and in doing so reveals the extent to which the future landscape of global competition may be shaped by disruptive innovation, as well as its capacity to make the world "flatter" and more sustainable
