Excerpt from Technological Discontinuities: The Emergence of Fiber Optics Prior descriptions of technological discontinuities by Utterback and Kim and by Tushman and Moore are restricted in their competitive sphere to a single attacker and a single defender. In reality, the situation is often much more complex, and the emerging technology can be perceived in many different ways by different industry participants. The purpose of this paper is to examine optical fibers as a technological discontinuity in an industry which has a complex structure. Clearly, competitive strategy has had an important role to play in the way in which industry participants have mastered technological change.
