				                Re-focus on Breakthrough Innovation versus Disruptive Innovation

													According to Professor Abraham Horton, the difference between Breakthrough Innovation and Disruptive Innovation is: A breakthrough leads to improvements and opens new possibilities; a disruptive innovation threatens existing markets.

In short, breakthroughs are solutions to problems, disruptions are effects - problems on markets.
