Abstract: Confronted with the challenges of a new technological revolution and industrial transformation, disruptive innovation has become a critical pathway for traditional manufacturing enterprises to achieve transformation and upgrading. However, enterprises generally face multiple obstacles during adoption, including organizational inertia, resource bottlenecks, technological and market uncertainties, and external environmental constraints. This study systematically analyzes these core barriers and constructs a transformation path based on strategic guidance and phased implementation, proposing three contextualized options: incremental, radical, and hybrid approaches. To ensure successful transformation, the research further designs four safeguard mechanisms covering organizational change, resource integration, technological market breakthroughs, and policy-ecosystem synergy. The findings demonstrate that disruptive innovation transformation for traditional manufacturing enterprises is a complex systemic project. Only through internal and external improvements coupled with dynamic adjustments can enterprises effectively overcome obstacles and achieve value reshaping and sustainable development. The conclusions of this study provide theoretical references and practical guidance for relevant enterprises.
