Strategic Leadership in the Era of Disruptive Innovation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The uncertainties caused by digital technology are surrounding our business environment. A new kind of leadership with a focus on disruptive innovation is required for organizations to gain a competitive edge in the digital era. In this regard, Cisco Systems has been the most aggressive and agile in developing disruptive innovation. Ex-president of Cisco, John T. Chambers was the man at the vanguard throughout the journey. He led Cisco from the mid-1990s when the Internet just emerged, leading disruptive innovation. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is upon us now, and we are catching glimpses of even bigger changes in the environment; a strategic response to disruptive innovation has never been more important than right now. Against this backdrop, I interviewed John T. Chambers, former president of Cisco Systems. The purpose of this article is to disseminate the full text of that interview.
