I am looking for any other examples where a company has successfully migrated to the next technology S curve. Any examples?

  MS has made many missteps, but I think with the Express versions of their development tools they are attempting to (and seem to be doing pretty well at it) migrate through a disruption in their developer tools and mindshare. Only time will tell if they were too late with the free tools.

  The currently much maligned Nokia started making wood pulp, then moved to rubber, then to electronics. IBM's transition from mechanical tabulating machines to mainframes and minis should count. Nintendo went from making playing cards to arcade games to home consoles. In fact most companies that has been around for more than 50 years have probably had to make at least one or two such migrations just to survive.

    I wouldn't consider Nokia as having adapted to disruptive technology. I think Nokia's example is similar to 3M's. IBM may be a right candidate, but I wouldn't agree that it has adapted to disruptive change. Yes it has survived through it.
