In lots of examples like PCs, databases, and even CRM, a concept is so new (a discontinuous innovation) that there is nothing like it, which means there is no true analog to replace. The idea of replacement is fundamental because the innovation can’t take over another niche. Effective use of the innovation means building an infrastructure for it. For example, PCs might have physically replaced typewriters and dumb terminals on the desktop, but their effective use meant wiring buildings for LANs and conceiving new business processes.
