Coming up on this week’s episode, disrupting is all fun and games. Until such time as you become the disrupted.

As we see with the rise. And fall. Of Compaq computers.

Compaq - the brainchild of three friends from Houston, Texas – disrupted the computer hardware market by, initially, boldly playing in IBM’s slipstream. And subsequently, transforming and mastering what was, at the time, the burgeoning value chain that was computer hardware manufacturing. Creating for itself multiple competitive advantages.

And then, Compaq became the disrupted. Its momentum had the kibosh put it. It’s competitive advantages – and there were a few - eroded. To the point that we now ask today, whatever happened to Compaq.

On this week’s episode of the Risktory Podcast, we find out. Tip: it’s exactly what you think happened.
