Definition of a Disruptive Technology
“A disruptive innovation introduces a different set of features, performance, and price attributes relative to the existing product, an unattractive combination for mainstream customers at the time of product introduction because of inferior performance on the attributes these customers value”
(Govindarajan & Kopalle, 2005, p. 15)

Firms are enslaved by their current, profitable market.

Christensen on Nokia VS Apple:
“The iPhone is a sustaining technology relative to Nokia. In other words, Apple is leaping ahead on the sustaining curve [by building a better phone]. But the prediction of the theory would be that Apple won’t succeed with the iPhone. They’ve launched an innovation that the existing players in the industry are heavily motivated to beat: It’s not [truly] disruptive. History speaks pretty loudly on that, that the probability of success is going to be limited.”

Operators did not want smartphones, but customers did.

As a consequence, Nokia could only innovate in
ways that were appreciated by operators.

Nokia had software and plans to become a software company in the long term

Only an entrant could circumvent operators and create a new
distribution of value

With the shift to smartphones, operators do not add much value any longer.
=> Price competition has followed

The framework does not assume heterogeneity in terms of how different
actors perceive an innovation.

Smartphones were sustaining for consumers,
but highly disruptive to operators.

Nokia was thus ”held captive” by the operators.

Conclusion
The subjectivity of value needs to be taken into account.
A more Austrian, evolutionary
perspective on markets is needed.
