on the assumption that design choices are influenced by multiple factors in our environment and our past experiences (Snowdon & Boone, 2007). The scheme
provides an initial overview to protect the Spanish railway against some of the pitfalls observed in the Scandinavian railway market, while developing

                             innovation

There are many reasons why the incremental innovation doesnt just
grow into the [disruptive] world. The strategy is a hindrance to free
thinking, at least for the grant portion of the innovation, but perhaps
also for the development of new business models for existing services.
We can also see that the risk picture becomes much more diffused in
the [disruptive] innovation world because we have no experience in
these new areas. (p. 616) (Elkj脱r, 2011)




 Tabula rasa rationality
[Disruptive] innovation requires a product or service in terms of tabula rasa, which mentally can be
an almost insurmountable barrier in the innovation process. (p. 616) (Elkj脱r, 2011)
