This symposium showcases four papers that draw on a diverse array of theoretical perspectives to examine the rise of disruptive technologies such as cell-cultivated meat, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), artificial intelligence, and digital platforms. Collectively, the presentations in this symposium shed light on a variety of phenomena—including questions of how technologies that disrupt existing markets become legitimated over time; how technological advancements redefine the relationships between individuals, organizations, and the idea of what constitutes expertise; and how striving for ‘better futures’ drives the emergence of novel technological ideas and practices. The symposium integrates both macro- and micro-level perspectives to better understand the implications of novel technologies for organizations, markets, and fields. Taken together, the symposium aims to bring together scholars from various backgrounds to engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue on the pervasive implications of technological disruption for organizing.
