See the Abernathy-Utterback framework for a good model how industries evolve.
A comment / critique on this model is:
- Concept of Dominant Design Paradigm applicable only after the fact
- Can there be more than one dominant design?
- Is the concept applicable given modern (flexible) manufacturing?
- In what industries is it applicable?
- What happens in the case of radical innovation?
