The process of disruptive technological innovation is accompanied by the evolution of technology and the expansion of market. At present, the academic discussion on the evolution mode of disruptive technological innovation is mainly based on the perspectives of technology, market, institutional mechanism and innovation ecosystem, and lacks in-depth analysis on the source of technology. Due to the diversity of the sources of disruptive technology and the differences of the initial target markets, disruptive technologies do not follow the unified evolutionary path. Based on the source of technological innovation, disruptive technologies can be divided into three types: innovative breakthrough type, integrated reorganization type, and cross-border application type. Through different combinations of the three types of disruptive technologies and the initial target markets, a variety of disruptive technologies evolution models are summarized, providing a new theoretical perspective for the classification and identification of disruptive technologies, as well as the cultivation and development of disruptive technologies.
