What company/product/service or industry was displaced? Summarize what happened.
What happened to the displaced company/industry that went obsolete? Did they recover?
Is the new innovation superior, in your opinion? Why/why not?
What two things can other companies’ leadership teams do to ensure they / their products don’t become displaced? (Hint: research this).
Identify two articles that you used to research this obsolescence. Provide URLs.
