This study presents a systematic review of research on the impact of disruptive innovation (DI) interventions in diverse business and technological model innovations. Using the umbrella review method, a thorough analysis of the literature on DI was conducted, followed by a meticulous selection process guided by the PRISMA flowchart. Following a rigorous process, this study presents a range of quality matrices, an impact analysis, a summary of the systematic literature review (SLR) analysis and future research trajectories focusing on DI. By creating a holistic and consolidated repository of information, this study equips readers with a robust understanding of the current state of SLR application in DI across various sectors. Moreover, it offers a guide to selecting the most suitable assessments for specific decision-making scenarios. This research enriches DI literature and facilitates informed decision-making through appropriate assessment selection.
