A Sustainability-Driven Innovation and Management Policies through Technological Disruptions: Navigating Uncertainty in the Digital Era

Abstract

Due to the pressing need for expedited transitions, the research analyzes the evolving comprehension of 'disruption' within sustainable transition studies to critically evaluate its merits, drawbacks, and possibilities. Through an in-depth systematic evaluation of papers, the research examines the perception of disruption within this literature and identifies the elements that are being disturbed. The research delineates nontechnical aspects of disruption, incorporating 'behavior, procedures, and cultural strategies' with previously identified aspects: marketplaces and company models, laws and regulations, and players and systems. The research summarizes the literature's identification of Technological Disruptions (TD) in revolutions. It utilizes additional studies (e.g., the theory of social practices and organizational theory) to elucidate the characteristics of TD. The research offers a novel term for disruption in sociotechnical changes, emphasizing the velocity and scale of change. The research highlights the significance of TD behaviors and low-tech responses in conjunction with disruptive technology and regulations.
