, 01:29, 24 May 2012→Hypothesis
# Dominant designs arising from competence-destroying discontinuities will be initiated by new entrants in the industry while dominant designs arising from competence-enhancing discontinuities will be initiated by firms whose entrance preceded the discontinuity.
# Most of the total performance improvement of the lifetime of a technology will occur outside the era of incremental change.
===Methodology===
Two of Tushman and Anderson's (1986) product classes Portland cement manufacture and minicomputer manufactures. The hypothesis were tested using data from these two industries. See the results section of the paper.
