The Emerging and Disruptive Technologies – A Risk-Based Approach

The accelerating pace of technological advance and its emergent and disruptive trends related to new innovations and adopted technologies have a great impact on our society. The technological, geopolitical, environmental, economic, and disruptive trends are expected to reshape the evolution of businesses and how people interact with each other. Negative effects, threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences of a rapid adoption and implementation of any emerging technologies lead to specific risks which require organizations to rethink their strategy, governance and architecture of the business models. This paper aims to emphasize the adoption evolution and implementation effects of emerging and disruptive technologies that could lead to certain challenges in the majority of fields of activity. A bibliometric analysis was conducted in order to highlight the associated risks and consequences that could result from disruptive trends concerning the adoption and implementation over time of the emerging and disruptive technologies.
