克里斯坦森发展颠覆性创新理论的4个特色

与广为人知的颠覆性创新理论相比，克里斯坦森开发该理论的方法论未获得足够关注。对比《管理学中的伟大思想》中30位管理学大师4个研究阶段发现，克里斯坦森颠覆性的基本做法与之相符，但是有特别之处：辨析例外与反常，在不同理论开发阶段采用不同反常解决方案；针对不同理论发展状态，采用归纳式、演绎式和理论边界质疑式3种教学与研究相结合的研究形式；研究中特别重视研究方法论，并以方法论指导和强化自身研究成果；在展示研究成果的同时也阐释产生成果的方法论或假设以增强成果可信度，使研究成果产生更广泛的影响。这些发现有助于学者从研究方法论视角重新审视颠覆性创新理论，并使其在创新活动中关注某些技巧。

Christensen's Four Features in Developing his Disruptive Innovation Theory

In contrast to the well known disruptive innovation theory, Christensen's methodology within developing his theory has not been paid any attention. Contrast the four phases of 30 management masters developing their theories in the Great Minds, this paper found that during the general research steps keeping with the four stages, Christensen has special contributions of his own: After distinguishing the exceptions form the anomalies, adopted the different solutions for the anomalies of different theoretical development stages; Basing on the induction, deduction and theoretical boundary questioning, three different forms of integrating the teaching and researching ware used in the different theory development state; Paid more attention to the research methodology, and used them to guide and strengthen his research actions; While showing the study, explained the reasons of the methodology or assumptions used in his works to enhance the credibility of the results and obtain more abroad effect. These findings can help us to re examine the disruptive innovation theory from the perspective of research methodology, and also enlighten the researchers to focus on some helpful skills in our innovation activities.
