As the risk of disruption to established firms increases, how can they survive? This book provides strategies for organizations to respond to disruptive innovation by handling complexity, facilitating an entrepreneurial culture, and adapting to survive over time.

This book tries to improve the understanding of strategies for how established international organizations can respond to disruptive innovation, handle increasing complexity, facilitate entrepreneurial culture, and encourage inclusiveness. In an international scenario, the risk of disruption to established firms has increased significantly over the past decades. The growing complexity of digital markets and digital value chains as well as the speed of emerging technologies and new business models with the potential for radical change create disruption opportunities. Strategic response strategies for incumbents to slow or delay the onset of disruption or even adapt and survive over time, are a part of a scientific field that is slowly but steadily emerging.
Entrepreneurs with an effectuation mindset are likely to avoid hierarchical procedure-based cultures while creating participatory ones.
Entrepreneurial behavior and mindset favor innovation, proactivity, and risk, which positively correlate with job autonomy, decentralization and low formalization and fit startup employees’ values, including independence (autonomy) and responsibility rather than job security.
