You forgot about a very big #3: find something that's working elsewhere and adapt it for a new, local audience. Lot's of countries have their own "ebay", for example and ebay tended to buy the best ones.

There are endless possibilities out there to make a business and most of them are not disruptive at all. The disruptive ones are vastly more risky.

I get your point, but disruption goes beyond concepts. entrepreneurship by way of geographic arbitrage is still disruptive to the local business scene. Whether it's facebook or studiVZ, it's still the same effect.

But in that case your word "disruptive" is so broad as to not be very useful and we already have words that mean this.
