Diffusion is the process by which an innovation spreads through a social system over time through communication channels. It involves spreading new ideas and insights, such as what qualities make an innovation spread, the importance of peer networks, and understanding different user needs. Rogers developed the diffusion of innovation theory in 1962 to explain how, why, and at what rate new ideas and technologies spread through cultures. The theory describes the process of adoption where individuals first learn of an innovation, then form an opinion, make a decision, implement the innovation, and seek reinforcement. There are five stages of adoption - knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation.
This document provides an overview of Diffusion of Innovation theory and its application to educational settings. It discusses key elements of diffusion including innovation, communication channels, time, and social systems. It also outlines Rogers' five categories of adopters and factors that influence the adoption rate of innovations in education. The document suggests strategies for implementing change, provides real-world examples, and discusses how technology affects educational communication through the lens of Diffusion of Innovation theory. Breakout groups are assigned to discuss applying this framework to implementing virtual reality in different educational contexts.
Rogers' theory of diffusion of innovations describes the process by which an innovation is communicated through channels over time among members of a social system. The theory outlines five stages of adoption: awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption. Factors affecting diffusion include individual characteristics like innovativeness, risk taking, resistance to change, and innovative attitudes or values which can be influenced by situation. Innovativeness refers to how early an individual adopts an innovation compared to others in their social system.
Diffusion of innovation------Innovation Decision ProcessAdesh Verma
This document summarizes Rogers' innovation-decision process model. It describes the five stages an individual or organization goes through when adopting an innovation: 1) knowledge, 2) persuasion, 3) decision, 4) implementation, and 5) confirmation. At each stage, the individual forms perceptions and evaluates the innovation. Communication channels and the social system influence how quickly an innovation is adopted. The innovation-decision period is the length of time it takes an individual or organization to progress through all five stages when deciding to adopt or reject an innovation.

Innovation Diffusion Theory - Review & Scope in the Study of Adoption of Smar...scmsnoida5
When mobile phones were introduced in the
world markets, little did one expect that these
small handheld devices would transform the
world as we knew it. This small innovation
transformed the lives of millions of people. A
simple device which was invented basically as a
vocal-communication tool got transformed into a
complex gadget that facilitates almost all forms of
communication now-a-days be it vocal, written or
multimedia. Mobile phones have metamorphosed
into smartphones which are far advanced than
their predecessors. These smartphones are new
innovations in themselves as with each passing
day they come up with added features and uses
never thought of before. With markets being
flooded by these smartphones it will be occupying
to study their diffusion across global markets.
Indian markets in particular have been swamped
by millions of smartphones each month in the last
two years or so. This study is aimed to use the
framework of Innovation Diffusion theory to suggest a model for the analysis of adoption and
ultimately the diffusion of smartphones in India.
The innovation diffusion theory in itself has
developed immensely from the time of its origin
(1962) till the present day. This paper will try
to discuss some of the key elements of Innovation
Diffusion theory.
The document discusses Rogers' theory of the diffusion of innovations. It defines diffusion as the process by which an innovation spreads through a social system over time. Key aspects of the theory covered include the five stages of adoption (knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, confirmation), adopter categories (innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, laggards), and characteristics of innovations that influence adoption rates (relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, observability). Marketing strategies like skimming and penetration are discussed as ways to influence the rate of an innovation's diffusion.

Diffusion process - Adoption Process - Adopter Categories
- Characteristics of Innovation - Rate of Adoption - Variable Determining the Rate of Adoption
The document provides an overview of diffusion of innovation theory, which explains how new ideas and technologies spread through cultures over time. Some key points:
- The theory looks at how innovations are communicated and adopted by different groups in a society, and the factors that influence adoption rates, such as education levels.
- There are five categories of adopters (innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, laggards) that describe people based on how soon they adopt innovations.
- Five factors influence adoption: relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability of the innovation.
- Opinion leaders and change agents play important roles in influencing others' adoption. Targeting opinion
The document discusses key concepts from Everett Rogers' book Diffusion of Innovations including:
1) Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated over time through certain channels among members of a social system. The main elements are the innovation, communication channels, time, and the social system.
2) Innovations have perceived attributes like relative advantage and complexity that influence their rate of adoption. Communication channels and opinion leaders also impact diffusion.
3) Diffusion research traditions developed across various fields and focused on topics like the rate of adoption, innovativeness, and consequences of innovations.
Diffusion of innovations refers to the adoption of new products over time through communication channels within a social system. There are four key elements of diffusion: the innovation itself, communication channels, the social system, and time. Regarding innovations, they can range from continuous minor changes to discontinuous major technological changes. Products are more likely to diffuse if they offer a relative advantage, are compatible, simple, trialable, and their benefits are observable. Diffusion occurs as potential adopters learn of innovations through communication channels and make adoption decisions via stages like awareness, evaluation, trial, and adoption or rejection.
The document discusses the diffusion of innovations in new products entering the market. Only about 20% of new products succeed while most fail. Successful new product development is important for long-term competitiveness. An innovation includes both tangible hardware aspects and intangible software like how it meets consumer values. The likelihood of success depends on factors like how much an innovation improves upon existing products and is compatible with consumer experiences. The rate of adoption follows an S-shaped curve as it spreads from innovators to early adopters to the early and late majorities and finally laggards.

The document discusses diffusion of innovation theory, which proposes that new ideas and technologies spread through cultures over time through communication channels. It describes the innovation adoption process that individuals go through, categorizing adopters into innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. Key factors that influence the rate of diffusion include the perceived advantages of an innovation, its compatibility with existing values, its complexity, the ability to test it, and the visibility of its results. New products have the highest likelihood of success when they meet strongly felt needs.
A theory that seeks to explain how, why, and at what rate new ideas and technology spread. Everett Rogers, a professor of communication studies, popularized the theory in his book Diffusion of Innovations
1. Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated over time among members of a social system. It involves an innovation, communication channels, time, and a social system.
2. The innovation-decision process includes knowledge of the innovation, forming an attitude, deciding to adopt or reject, implementing the innovation, and confirming the decision.
3. Innovativeness refers to how early an individual adopts innovations compared to others. Adopter categories include innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards.
Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations model outlines five factors that influence the adoption of new ideas: (1) attributes of the innovation such as its relative advantage and complexity, (2) the type of decision (individual or collective), (3) communication channels (mass media or interpersonal), (4) the social system including norms and opinion leaders, and (5) the degree of promotion by change agents. The rate of adoption depends on how an innovation is perceived along these factors within a social system over time.

The document discusses the key elements and concepts of diffusion of innovations according to Rogers' theory. It defines diffusion as the process by which an innovation is communicated over time through certain channels among members of a social system. The four main elements of diffusion are innovations, communication channels, time, and social systems. It also discusses Rogers' innovation-decision process and the attributes of innovations.
Diffusion of innovation made simple. A condensed and applied summary of ‘The Diffusion of Innovations’ by Everett Rogers. A presentation I've given many times!
1) Diffusion is defined as the process by which an innovation is communicated through channels over time among members of a social system. There are four main elements of diffusion: the innovation itself, communication channels, time, and the social system.
2) Innovations can be defined by their characteristics including relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability. Communication channels include mass media and interpersonal channels.
3) The innovation-decision process describes the stages individuals go through in learning about an innovation and deciding whether to adopt it: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation.
This document discusses Rogers' diffusion of innovations theory, which examines how new ideas and technologies spread through populations over time. It defines key concepts such as innovation, communication channels, the innovation-decision process, adopter categories, and rate of adoption. The innovation-decision process involves 5 stages: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation. Innovations diffuse more rapidly when adopted first by innovators and early adopters via opinion leaders within a social system's communication networks and norms.
This chapter discusses opinion leadership, communication networks, and critical mass in the diffusion of innovations. It finds that while homophily (similarity) is common in communication networks, heterophily (difference) is important for the spread of new ideas. Opinion leaders tend to be more innovative, cosmopolitan, educated, and connected to change agents and the media. The chapter also defines critical mass as the point when an innovation becomes self-sustaining through its rate of adoption within a system.
This document summarizes Everett Rogers' theory of the diffusion of innovations. It discusses the key elements of the theory, including the innovation itself, communication channels, time as it relates to the innovation-decision process and adopter categories, the rate of adoption within a social system, and the roles of social structure, norms, and opinion leaders in influencing diffusion. The main points are that diffusion is the process by which innovations spread via communication over time among members of a social system, and that this process involves uncertainty reduction as individuals learn about the innovation.
The document discusses diffusion of innovations, which is defined as the process by which any innovation is adopted over time among members of a social system. It describes key concepts like relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability that influence how innovations are adopted. The innovation-decision process involves stages of knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation as individuals decide whether to adopt or reject an innovation.
The document outlines plans to create an Integrated Licensing Application System in Ireland. It aims to streamline the licensing process for businesses by allowing them to apply for multiple licenses through a single online portal. This is expected to save businesses time and simplify regulatory compliance. A pilot program will launch the system for retail sector licenses handled by 40 licensing authorities. If successful, it could be expanded to other sectors and licenses. The goals are to improve ease of doing business, boost competitiveness, and support job creation goals by reducing licensing burdens on enterprises.
Vending machines have evolved significantly with new technologies. Originally only dispensing snacks and drinks, vending machines now offer a wide range of items from consumer products to gold. Modern machines accept cash, credit cards, and interact digitally for stocking. Touchless and laser-equipped machines increase efficiency. Japan has extremely widespread use of vending, with one machine for every 23 people. Reverse vending machines pay consumers to recycle containers. New healthy vending options provide nutrition information on LCD screens. Some machines can even grow vegetables without sunlight. Vending continues to change with new innovative forms and functions.

Organazational and Strategic innovationAfrouz Hojati
Strategic Innovation is the creation of growth strategies, new product categories, services or business models that change the game and generate significant new value for consumers, customers and the corporation
The document discusses the importance of innovation as a core business concept. It argues that while most companies say they are committed to innovation, few can clearly describe their innovation systems. There is a mismatch between what companies say about innovation and what they actually do. The document encourages managers to take a broader view of innovation beyond just new products or services. True innovation requires rethinking the entire business model and all of its design variables. Companies must question their current business concepts and look for innovative ideas from across the organization to gain a competitive advantage.
The document defines innovation as the process of translating an idea into a good or service that creates value for customers. It discusses different types of innovation such as evolutionary, revolutionary, continuous, and discontinuous. Product innovation is categorized based on its disruptiveness to customer behavior patterns. The document also discusses definitions of innovation from the perspective of the firm producing it and the market in which it is introduced. Key characteristics like relative advantage and compatibility influence how quickly new products are adopted in a market. The stages of adoption are awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption or rejection.
Andy Grove, former Intel CEO, believes the word "innovation" has become overused and meaningless. He dislikes mechanisms that promote innovation buzzwords more than actual innovation work. Samsung increased patents submitted from around 600 in 1988 to over 2,500 in 2002 through implementing a Six Sigma strategy and TRIZ methodology, driving faster product development times. They opened new design centers and won numerous industrial design awards. Samsung's innovation process uses TRIZ and design for six sigma to close concepts and technology development.
The document summarizes Rogers' innovation-decision process model which describes the steps individuals go through from first learning about an innovation to deciding whether to adopt it. The five steps are: (1) knowledge, (2) persuasion, (3) decision, (4) implementation, and (5) confirmation. It then provides an example of the diffusion of hybrid seed corn among Iowa farmers in the 1930s-1940s to illustrate how farmers progressed through these stages.
Joseph Schumpeter was an Austrian-American economist known as the 'Godfather' of innovation studies. He was born in Austria-Hungary and worked at several universities including Harvard. Schumpeter made major contributions through his description of "creative destruction," where innovation continuously destroys old economic structures and creates new ones. Some of his most influential books that explored these ideas included The Theory of Economic Development and Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy. Schumpeter defined innovation as new combinations of resources, knowledge, equipment, and markets that take five main forms: new products, production processes, markets, inputs, and organization.
This document discusses business model innovation and how business models can be changed to create and deliver value to customers. It provides examples of how Xerox innovated its business model to lease copiers instead of selling them, which led to increased copy volumes and profits. Later, competitors introduced new business models with cheaper copiers sold through stores with outsourced sales and service, taking market share from Xerox. The key lessons are that business models determine value creation and profitability, and innovating business models is an option for companies to pursue growth.
Corporate Innovation : developing a lean & curious culture : Michel Duchateau...Michel Duchateau
This document provides information about Michel Duchateau, an entrepreneur, trainer, and coach focused on innovation, entrepreneurship, and startups. It discusses his background founding a consultancy, facilitating numerous Startup Weekend events across Europe, and collaborating with various organizations. It also promotes an upcoming event on developing a lean and curious corporate culture through innovation.
The document discusses the two-step flow theory of communication, which proposes that information from media first reaches opinion leaders who then pass on their own interpretations to others. Opinion leaders can be found in all groups and their influence varies depending on the topic and how interested the group is. There are two types of opinion leaders - monomorphic, who are influential on one topic, and polymorphic, who are influential on various topics. The multi-step flow theory expands on this by showing how information moves from media to opinion receivers to opinion leaders to others in a social system over time as part of the diffusion of innovations.
Diffusion of Innovation theory examines how, why, and the rate at which new ideas and technologies spread through cultures over time. The key aspects of the theory include the innovation, communication channels, time, and the social system. Adoption of innovations follows an S-curve as they are first adopted by innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. Factors like relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability influence adoption rates.
The document provides 5 examples of disruptive innovation:
1) Transistor radios disrupted analogue radios by being portable despite lower sound quality.
2) Pocket calculators disrupted desktop calculators through portability despite lower computing power.
3) LCD TVs disrupted CRT TVs initially in mobile applications where lighter weight and battery life were more important than picture quality.
4) Minimills disrupted integrated steel mills by producing cheaper, lower quality steel that captured more segments over time.
5) Mobile phones disrupted landlines by being portable despite lower sound quality and higher costs initially.
This document provides an overview of diffusion and adoption of livestock innovations. It defines key terms like innovation, diffusion, and adoption. It describes Rogers' diffusion of innovations theory, including the innovation-decision process and adopter categories. The innovation-decision process involves 5 stages: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation. Adopter categories include innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. Each category is defined by their attributes, such as their degree of innovativeness, social status, and how they access information.

It describes Rogers' diffusion of innovations theory, including the innovation-decision process and adopter categories. The five adopter categories are innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. Each category is characterized by their attributes, demographics, and role in the diffusion process. The document also outlines the perceived attributes of innovations and factors that influence their rate of adoption.
Types of innovation decisions, consequences of innovation-decisionsRameshwar sahu
This document discusses three types of innovation decisions: operational, collective, and authority. It also outlines the desirable and undesirable, direct and indirect consequences of innovation decisions. The decision making process involves observing a problem, analyzing it, deciding on courses of action, choosing one, and accepting the consequences. The innovation decision process moves from knowledge to persuasion to decision to implementation to confirmation as an individual adopts a new idea. Perceived attributes like relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability influence an individual's decision. Social, personal, and situational factors also impact the decision making process.
Innovation-Decision Process(A critical appraisal of the new formulation)Poornima C P
The document discusses Rogers' innovation-decision process, which describes the steps an individual or organization goes through in deciding to adopt or reject an innovation. It includes 5 stages: 1) Knowledge, where one learns of the innovation's existence; 2) Persuasion, where one forms attitudes about the innovation; 3) Decision, where one decides to adopt or reject; 4) Implementation, where one puts the innovation into use; 5) Confirmation, where one reinforces or reverses the decision. The rate of moving through these stages and adopting innovations varies between individuals and groups. Decisions can be optional, collective, or authority-based.
The document discusses Rogers' innovation-decision process, which describes the steps individuals go through when learning about a new innovation. The five steps are: 1) Knowledge - gaining awareness and understanding of the innovation, 2) Persuasion - forming attitudes toward the innovation, 3) Decision - deciding whether to adopt or reject the innovation, 4) Implementation - putting the innovation into use, and 5) Confirmation - reinforcing the decision or reversing it if issues arise. Each step involves cognitive and behavioral processes as individuals evaluate new ideas and determine whether and how to apply them.
Chapter11.ppt pdf innovation and diffusionOshadiVindika
This document discusses the diffusion of innovations, including the diffusion and adoption processes. It defines diffusion as the spread of a new product from its source to consumers over time, while adoption refers to the stages consumers go through in deciding to accept or reject an innovation. The four main elements of diffusion are the innovation itself, communication channels, the social system, and time. Characteristics like relative advantage and compatibility influence consumers' acceptance of innovations.
1. Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated over time among members of a social system. It involves an innovation, communication channels, time, and a social system.
2. There are five stages in the adoption process: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation. Adopter categories include innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards.
3. Key aspects of diffusion include the innovation's attributes, the communication channels, the adopter's innovativeness, and the social system's norms and structure. Adoption occurs after an individual passes through awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption stages.
The document discusses Rogers' diffusion of innovations theory and its key concepts. It provides an overview of the four main elements that lead to the diffusion of innovations: the innovation itself, communication channels, time, and social systems. It then discusses several factors that influence the rate of adoption of innovations, including their relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability. Barriers to diffusion are also examined, such as an innovation's perceived advantage, compatibility with existing social and cultural norms, complexity, ability to be tested, and observability of benefits. The concept of the "tipping point" is discussed as a way innovations spread epidemically through certain individuals like connectors, mavens, and salespeople. Examples are
Innovation Techniques in Adoption and Diffusion.pptxAzhar Khan
This document defines key concepts related to the diffusion of innovations. It discusses how an innovation is adopted through various stages from initial awareness to continued adoption. The innovation-decision process involves 5 stages: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation. Innovations diffuse through a population according to an adoption curve, with different categories of adopters from innovators to laggards. Factors influencing adoption include the characteristics of the innovation itself and of potential adopters, as well as how the innovation is communicated through channels.

1) The document discusses diffusion theory and the "tipping point" concept where the adoption of an innovation rapidly increases once a critical mass is reached. It outlines the 5 stages of the innovation-decision process and how later adopters are influenced by the decisions of early adopters.
2) It describes how opinion leaders play a key role in driving the tipping point by influencing others in the social system. Once opinion leaders adopt an innovation, their approval can trigger rapid, widespread adoption.
3) The effectiveness of spreading innovations depends on characteristics of the social system and innovation. Targeting opinion leaders is most effective, and heterophilous systems that welcome new ideas are easier to drive to the tipping point than
The document discusses key concepts related to the diffusion and adoption of innovations. It defines diffusion as the process by which an innovation spreads through certain channels over time among members of a social system. The adoption process involves 5 stages - awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption. Key attributes that influence adoption rate are relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability. Adopters are categorized into 5 groups - innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards based on when they adopt innovations.
The Innovation-Decision Process model describes the process an individual or organization goes through in order to adopt or reject an innovation. It involves 5 sequential stages:
1) Knowledge - learning about the existence of an innovation,
2) Persuasion - forming an attitude toward the innovation,
3) Decision - deciding whether to adopt or reject the innovation,
4) Implementation - putting the innovation into use, and
5) Confirmation - reinforcing the decision and potentially reversing it if issues arise.
Diffusion of Innovations Slides Ch.1 & 2David Onoue
The document summarizes key concepts from Everett Rogers' book Diffusion of Innovations. It discusses four main elements of diffusion: the innovation, communication channels, time, and the social system. It describes how innovations diffuse through a social system via communication channels over time. Individuals make innovation decisions through a process from awareness to adoption or rejection. Innovativeness varies among members of a social system in adopting innovations.
This document discusses four types of innovation decisions:
1. Authority decisions are made by individuals in positions of power for an entire social system.
2. Collective decisions are made by consensus of all individuals in a social system through a process of stimulation, initiation, legitimation, and group decision.
3. Optional decisions are made independently by individuals who may be influenced by social norms and interpersonal networks.
4. Contingent decisions can only be made after a prior decision, such as obtaining permission before making an optional decision to cultivate tobacco.
This document discusses resistance to change and how to manage it. It describes resistance as having affective, cognitive, and behavioral dimensions. There are two main types of resistance: active resistance which conflicts with organizational identity, and passive resistance which occurs without clarifying how change relates to identity. Common causes of resistance include dislike of change, uncertainty, attachment to culture, and excessive change. The document outlines different perspectives on resistance ("images") and recommends developing a resistance profile to identify likely resistors, the strength and potential impact of resistance, and the most appropriate method to address it, such as education, participation, facilitation, negotiation, or coercion.
Diffusion of Innovation describes the process by which an innovation is communicated through certain channels over time among members of a social system. It has four main elements: (1) an innovation, (2) communication channels, (3) time, and (4) a social system. An innovation is defined as a new idea or method and has characteristics like relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability that determine how quickly it is adopted. Communication channels are how messages spread between individuals, while time refers to the innovation decision process and rate of adoption. A social system is a set of interconnected units working towards a common goal.
This document discusses the key concepts of diffusion of innovations, including adoption, diffusion, innovation, and the innovation-decision process. It defines these terms and explains the elements and characteristics of diffusion, including innovation characteristics like relative advantage and complexity. It also outlines the stages of the innovation-decision process and describes different categories of adopters from innovators to laggards.
The document discusses Rogers' model of the adoption process, which involves 5 stages: awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption. It describes several studies that helped develop this model. Ryan and Gross identified 4 stages: awareness, conviction, acceptance, and adoption. Wilkening described adoption as a process involving learning, deciding, and acting over time through 4 stages: awareness, obtaining information, conviction, and trial. The North Central Rural Sociology Committee identified the same 5 stages that Rogers later outlined. The stages are presented as: awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption. It is noted that not all models agree on the number of stages, and individuals may jump between stages or abandon the process depending on various factors

Treating Asthma on the CheapFor people who suffer from asthma, most treatment involves an “MDI” or “metered dose inhaler.”I won’t get into all the specifics here, but many people don’t use inhalers correctly which, in turn, significantly decreases the effectiveness of the inhaler. Putting the inhaler in your mouth and actuating it causes a substantial proportion of the medicine to be sprayed either on your tongue, on the roof of your mouth, or on the back of your throat. Ideally, patients should hold the inhaler 2 inches (2-3 finger breadths) in front of their mouth, open their mouth, actuate the inhaler, and then inhale deeply – with their mouth still open. Looks dorky, but that is what gets the most medications into your lungs. Often patients have difficulty coordinating the actions.Here is a link describing proper MDI use.Enter the spacer device. The spacer is a hollow chamber that fits on the end of a metered dose inhaler. The dose of medicine is sprayed into the chamber where it forms a mist. The patient then inhales the medicine from the other end of the inhaler so the particles get deeper into the lungs.Here’s a link about use of spacer devices. Use of a spacer device can increase the amount of medication delivered to the lungs by 300%.While a spacer device can make you better, they’re expensive. You can get them fromCanada for $65. In the US, they’re more like $80 to $100. If you lose them or they crack, you’re out another $100 to replace them.So a patient came to the ED and was having trouble controlling her asthma. I recommended a spacer device to help her – in addition to adding steroids to her regimen. She told me that other doctors had recommended a spacer, but that money was tight and she couldn’t afford one.
