The kind of disruption you postulate is one of the plot elements in Atlas Shrugged, which has some passages tracing how the failure of one transaction or business firm disrupt the plans of other businesses, which fail in their turn.
One thing you can say for a corporate capitalist system is that valued technology will usually be retained in business failures, as it's bought (either out of bankruptcy or to avoid same) by a competitor.

Of course if the entire market segment is having a crisis that's less likely to work.
