Gain an insight into the impact of 3D printing, where Dr Ahmad Beltagui, Lecturer in Project and Operations Management at Aston Business School, will describe his research and approach. Â
This webinar will be of interest to academics and practitioners with an interest in understanding how digital technologies, including 3D printing, engage collaborative and competitive ecosystems to create opportunities and threats for disruption.
Innovations are increasingly described using terms such as disruptive, digital and ecosystems. This research traces the development of an ecosystem over four decades from the invention of a digital technology, the need for supporting innovations, the competition and disruption within the growing ecosystem and finally the potential for disruption of established technologies.Â
The research applies theory from evolutionary biology to explain the development of new technologies from components of existing ones, which creates opportunities for entry into a growing ecosystem. It develops a four stage process model, linking disruptive innovation to the birth and growth of ecosystems.
