Technical Innovations of Digital Disruption Implications for the Environment

Abstract

This article aims to open a discussion on how business agents can appropriate the benefits of technological innovations, based on digital disruption, to develop their businesses, without causing damage to the environment. The methodology adopted was the Bibliographic Research, as it allowed direct contact with the material already written about the technologies of digital eruptions, with a view to improving and updating knowledge, through the scientific investigation of already consolidated works, whose state of the art resulted in the constitution of a theoretical framework of the researched object. The results showed that digital disruption, as a technological innovation, generates radical impacts on processes, on how to proceed, work and do making obsolete the traditional way or the existing technology. The study also showed that digital disruption is a complex topic, either because of its lack of definition of the elements that influence the dynamics of this process in the development of new products and services, or because of methodological issues, regarding the procedures that make up this technology. It is concluded that business agents can take advantage of the benefits of digital disruption to develop their businesses, provided that the use of this technology is guided by multiple interactions, and does not express only economic bias, but must take into account its impacts on the environment , from the evaluation of the generated product itself, that is, evaluating the effects of the use of the good on the environment, one can interfere in the technology for its correction and/or adjustment, thus mitigating the technical effects on the environment.
