“… Generally, disruptive technologies look financially unattractive to established companies. The potential revenues from the discernible markets are small, and it is often difficult to project how big the markets for the technology will be over the long term. As a result, managers typically conclude that the technology cannot make a meaningful contribution to corporate growth and, therefore, that it is not worth the management effort required to develop it. …

“… Let start-ups—either ones the company funds or others with no connection to the company—conduct the experiments. …

“Place responsibility for building a disruptive-technology business in an independent organization. …
