INNOVATIONS

Continuous

Gradual upgrading of

existing products

Does not require

practitioners to learn or do anything different

Discontinuous

Big change in how things

are done

Must change our current

mode of behavior or Modify goods or services

we rely on

“Never before in history has innovation offered promise of so much to so many in so short a time.” Bill Gates

TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION LIFECYCLE MODEL

TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION LIFE CYCLE

Innovators

Pursue new technology products aggressively

Seek them out before market launch

Technology a central interest in their lives

Intrigued with any fundamental advance

Forgive high prices, omissions in functionality,

poor performance, just to see how the new

technology works

Small group, but their endorsement and input

are key

Early Adopters

Buy in early, but not technologists

Easy for them to imagine, understand, appreciate

benefits of new technology

Visionaries who can match emerging technology to

strategic opportunities

When they find a strong match, they buy accordingly

Rely more on their own intuition than on well-

established references

Key to opening up high-tech market segment

Early Majority

Relate to technology, but driven more by practicality

Know the potential pitfalls of new gadgets

Content to wait and see how others are doing

Want to see well-established references

Large group, key to substantial growth

Late Majority

Share concerns of Early Majority, but…

Not comfortable in their ability to handle new

technology

Wait for product to become an accepted standard

Want lots of support, so they buy from large, well-

established companies

Large group, important revenue center

Laggards

Want nothing to do with new technology

They’ll buy it if they don’t have to see it

Generally not worth pursuing, but…

Purveyors of high tech can learn from them

Point out discrepancies between promises and

realities

continuum?

“Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity - not a threat.”

INNOVATION P

INNOVATION

• How useful?

• How easy to use?

“Every innovation occasions more harm and derangement of order by its novelty, than benefit by its abstract utility.”

INNOVATION

Retooling

• How useful?

• How easy to use?

• Time and hassle

Retooling

“It would be a terrific innovation if you could get your mind to stretch a little further than the next wisecrack.” Katharine Hepburn

Usefulness – performance change

Ease of use or implementation – retooling notch

• Not as good as the current leader

• But…

• Less expensive

• Easily accessible

• Threatens to scoop the market

Examples

• Distance communication

• Computers

• Shopping

• Health care

• Hearing care?

• Insurance companies

• Internet sales

• Over the counter

• PSAPs

• Self-programming instruments

• Telehealth

• Automated hearing tests

• Online hearing tests
