Bus/Financial - Management / managing Disruption
English term or phrase: salient
S+B: How does a senior executive know which theories of the future are worthy of attention?
CHRISTENSEN: If they’re good theories, you ought to be able to articulate the circumstances under which they would and would not be {salient}. Then you would act accordingly—by treating them not as answers, but as opportunities to ask good questions. For instance, if you’re concerned about disruption, you would ask about your current circumstances: “Which competitors are threatening me and which am I more likely to threaten?” Disruption is a question about who’s going to kill whom.

Explanation:
According to the background, "salient" here means the theory would or would not be very sensitive and applicable under paticular circumstances. In these extreme cases, the theory could explain why it happend, what is likely to happen next, who should be affected, and what should we do.
