Abstract: During the last 75 years of Toyota Motor Corporation's (TMC) business operations, the company tried to respond to the environmental changes by adopting and implementing technology disruption and IT advancements for delivering greater value to its stakeholders. Technology disruption affects management philosophies. TMC's business success is not just an overnight story. A long waited for innovative managerial activities and decision-making has made the dream come true for TMC. The aim of the study was to find out the technology disruption impact and alignment of management theories in organisations based on the qualitative case method. Plenty of secondary sources such as websites, blogs, books, articles, and annual reports were observed to explore this research. The study found an innovation management model in the technology disruption situation. The study will help to learn the association between technology disruption and management philosophies in the manufacturing and automobile industries.
