The recent emergence of disruptive and innovative technologies, such as AI, big data, virtual and augmented reality, additive manufacturing, IoT, and blockchain, etc. has challenged the paradigm of conventional technological development. These technologies have become catalysts for innovations in many business sectors by creating new business models and/or innovating management practices (Cozzolino et al., 2018; Müller and Hundahl, 2018; Schulte, 2016). The history of previous industrial revolutions teaches us that the emergence of new technologies disrupts the incumbent by introducing previously unseen innovation which leads to new opportunities for businesses (Brondoni et al. 2018; Yoon et al. 2018). While these new technologies present unprecedented possibilities for businesses, their disruptive nature and the ensuing changes pose tremendous challenges on the adaptive capacity of individuals, firms, institutions and the society at large (Roblek et al., 2016; Liao et al., 2017; Lu, 2017).

 

This special issue tackles the emergence of disruptive technologies and their impact on the business and operations in the Asian context. Digital transformation, along with application of disruptive technologies, is likely to significantly alter existing and new Asian businesses and management practices across firms and industries, from manufacturing to service sectors, and from suppliers to customers.

 

This special issue seeks to find new insights over future industrial contours in Asian business and management derived by disruptive technologies and to learn from these developments to grasp its meaning for global business. We welcome original manuscripts on broad topics relevant to corporate innovation and disruptive technologies in an Asian business and management context not limited to the following:

 

·      Current technological advancements and how firms in Asia adopt them to capture business opportunities and to cope with challenges.

·      Difference in the nature of disruptive technology-driven innovation and conventional innovation.

·      Impact on existing and emerging business models, strategies, and organizational structures.

·      Digital disruption in business processes.

·      Modes of solutions or alternative approaches to innovation in the face of blurring techno-human interfaces (such as design thinking).

·      The impacts of disruptive technologies on functional level management practices such as manufacturing, supply chain, HRM, etc.

·      The impacts of disruptive technologies on trade and investment flows.

·      Practices and measurement of entrepreneurship aggressively adopting disruptive technologies.
