| Abstract: | The article addresses the need for supply relationships to generate, support, and respond to discontinuous innovation (DI), noting that established ways of working appear insufficient. The peculiarities of DI are explained and contrasted with well-known concepts within innovation. By means of strategic dalliances, the need for customer firms to be both closely collaborative with suppliers while also exploring potential, unpredictable DI elsewhere is proposed. Presented is a model for understanding and exploring this emerging management challenge. |
