Disruptive innovation.

Explanation:

Disruptive innovation is one that creates a new value network and market while disrupting existing market structures. It displaces existing firms, alliances and products.

For example with the introduction of the internet face-to-face business was changed, and most businesses started conducting business online. Businesses that failed to buy in to the change were negatively affected.

In the given instance Sunshine Technologies introduced a tablet that could run completely on solar energy and was less expensive than competitors' tablets. This was a game changer in the industry with downside that the battery needed frequent recharging. But this was eventually resolved.
