Putting the subject in the context of developing nations, Ghanaian enterprises are poised to embrace this industrial revolution since they recognize the importance of disruptive innovation as a competitive tool which significantly impacts organizational performance.

Purposive sampling technique was employed to sample 10 existing literature on disruptive technology and the performance of businesses. Christensen's Theory of Disruptive Technology, served as the theoretical framework for the study.
