What does "Disruptive" mean? Thoughts on the NIH SCI 2020 meeting
Vance P. Lemmon
摘要：On September 12 and 13, 2019, the National Institute of Neurologi-cal Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), as well as other federal agencies and several private foundations sponsored a stake holder meeting at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Bethes-da campus with a provocative title: "SCI 2020: Launching a decade for disruption in spinal cord injury research". Over the past decade,"disruptive" has become a cool buzz word for entrepreneurs to use to market their technology. In this context, disruptive means "innovative, ingenious, and unconventional" (typically definition #2 in online dic-tionaries). The hope is their new technology or business model is so powerful it will upend current technologies and come to dominate the market place. Uber’s destruction of taxi companies worldwide is a lead-ing example of being "disruptive".
