Also, speaking as a researcher of virtual schools and K-12 online learning, I would highly recommend Bob Kozma's contrary response to Christensen (see <a href="http://www.concord.org/publications/detail/2008_DisruptingClass_WhitePaper.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.concord.org/publications/detail/2008_DisruptingClass_WhitePaper.pdf</a>).

Much of the K-12 piece seems more likely to occur. However, at the same time Disrupting Class was being written, a separate cadre of Christensen's were working on the medical industry with The Innovator's Prescription. I recommend this as a read and keep education in the back of your mind. It is much more germane to our concerns with value chains.

Problem is that academic assessment / evaluation / progress is still based on impact factors - based on papers published in commercial journals. Disruption should probably start by starting a parallel system of impact factors, not monopolised by the likes of ISI... Good point.
