Distruptive innovation is a type of innovation which assist companies in developing a
new market as well as value network. It can also be defined as application of technology which
significantly effects the functioning of market as well as industry (Clausen, Mathiasen and
Nielsen, 2018). In context of Deliveroo, the competitors of firm are using the similar business
model, an organization is claiming that the competitors are attacking their value chain. Business
entity in order to prevent itself from competition has facilitated the innovation (Keat, Sam and
Kadir, 2018.). It is the innovation strategy which has assisted an enterprise in gaining the

one of the most successful organisation in food delivery industry. Business entity is offering its
products or services to customer in 12 countries. An organization is delivering the quality
services to customers along with fast serviced at competitive price. Innovation strategy has

entity has got the real innovation awards. Deliverroo has made significant investment in Roobox
business which has provided enterprise an ease in accessing additional off site kitchen space. The
theory of disruptive innovation describes the procedure through which goods or services takes
roots initially in simple applications at a bottom market and then move up in the market. It is
hypothesis which is based on assumptions that established organization fails because they dose
not keep themselves update with the latest technology (Mousavi, Bossink and van Vliet, 2018).
According to the disruptive innovation theory, the disruptive innovation can be categorized into
two these are low end as well as new Market disruption. In context of low end disruption, such
type of innovation has low performance than mainstream goods along a specific performance
trajectory. In relation to new market disruption, companies make appeal to new consumers and

logistics business model to create an all-new hyperlocal on-demand business model. An
enterprise operates on a dual operates on dual partnership model where an enterprise intends to
resolve the issues of bad delivery as well as restaurants.
The other important part of disruptive innovation theory is resources, procedure, value
framework. In relation to the deliveroo company has limited but valuable resources using which
it has designed various innovative services for their customers. In addition to this, an enterprise
has implemented the modern technology which has provided them an easer in facilitating
innovation (Tidd and Bessant, 2018). Deliveroo has implemented the advance technology in

well as delivered. An organisation has implemented the food delivery model and firm provides
customers with online payment facilities. (Alexander and Joe, 2019.).

Roobox will enables restaurants to form strategic partnership with Deliveroo, It is the strategy
which provide both deliveroo and its partners restaurants an ease in expansion of business
operations at minimum cost as well as risk. By implementing the more new plans deliveroo
