Digital Innovation in a Regulated Industry

Cirrus Foroughi, doctoral student at HBS

Abstract: Does technological opportunity enable the rise of new entrants or reinforce the position of incumbents? Research on this classic topic rarely considers the unique features of regulated industries. We offer a novel approach to this question in the context of regulated medical technology, where the introduction of software is of growing importance and has created fresh opportunities for new product development.

Speaker Bio: Cirrus Foroughi is a doctoral student in the Strategy Unit at Harvard Business School. His research interests lie at the intersection of innovation and firm strategy, with a particular focus on the healthcare and biotech industries.
