Background of Kittyhawk This paper aims to analyze the Hewlett Packard- Kittyhawk by taking into account “Disruptive Technologies” and “Value Network” by Christensen. In 1992‚ Hewlett Packard (HP) decided to produce a 1.3-inch disk drive-the Kittyhawk Microdrive‚ in hope to establish itself as a leader in a disk drive market. This smallest drive in the world will represent a disruptive innovation and a breakthrough in technology. A special team was dedicated to developing Kittyhawk and high hopes
