TY - GEN A1 - Janke, Angela A1 - Mißler-Behr, Magdalena T1 - Identifying the Disruptive Potential of the Sustainable Innovation E-Mobility T2 - International Journal of Sustainable Energy Development N2 - History has shown that technology-based innovation, so-called disruptive innovation, has led to a downturn in the success of major firms like Nokia or Kodak. Therefore, a continuous technology assessment and a timely adoption of relevant new technologies is critical for the success of a company. Recently, researchers and practitioners have shown an increased interest in sustainable innovation. Existing research recognizes the critical role played by the ex-ante evaluation of disruptive technologies]. Surprisingly, the ex-ante evaluation of the disruptive potential of sustainable innovation has not yet been closely examined. A false estimation of the disruptive potential of sustainable innovation can lead to failure of leading firms [1]. This paper presents criteria for the ex-ante evaluation of the disruptive potential of sustainable innovation. The criteria and its application to the case of e-mobility show a medium disruptive potential of this sustainable innovation.
