Joseph Shumpeter used the term “creative destruction” more than 70 years ago to describe how capitalism builds on processes that destroy old technologies but replaces them with new and better ones. That, in essence, is disruptive innovation. Using an example of disruptive businesses, explain how they innovated and disrupted the existing business landscape (e. g. Uber disrupted taxis).

The correct answer is:   6.99 billion (as 6.986 billion is rounded off (to nearest hundredth place)  to 6.99 billion)explanation: the given function is:   y = 6.2(1.01)^x (1)where x =    number of years after 2000it means that in 2012, the value of x would be 12 as the difference between 2012 and 2000 is 12 years.put x = 12 in equation (1): (1) => y =  6.2(1.01)^12 = 6.986 billion = 6.99 billion
