Game Changing Technologies: Exploring the Impact On Production Processes And Work, a Eurofound Report

The difference between incremental innovation and disruptive innovation be the difference between improving a candle by adding a wick that burns more slowly (incremental innovation) and inventing the electric light bulb (disruption) (Christensen, 1997).

This information from Eurofound talks about five game changing technologies. 

• advanced industrial robotics (AIR);
• industrial internet of things (IIoT);
• additive manufacturing (AM);
• electric vehicles (EVs);
• industrial biotechnology (IB).

This overview report presents the findings of five case studies that examined the potential impact of new technologies – the ‘game changers’ or disruptors – on manufacturing in Europe.
