DiffusionofInnovation Everett M. Rogers proposed 4 main
elements that influence the spread of anew idea:
Innovation,
communication channels, time
social system.
Definition by Rogers :DI is the process by which aninnovation is communicated throughcertain channels over time among the
members of a social system.
By: Krishna

Innovation
"an idea, practice, or object that is perceived as newby an individual or society.
Communication channels
"the means by which messages get from oneindividual to another
Time
length of time required to pass through theinnovation-decision process. The relative speedwith which an innovation is adopted by members
of a social system.Social system
A set of interrelated units that are engaged injoint problem solving to accomplish a common
goal.

InnovationDecisions
Two factors determine what type of a
decision it is:1. Whether the decision is made freely
and implemented willingly
2. Who makes the decision
Based on these considerations, there arethree types of innovation decisions:
Optional innovation-decisions, Collective innovation-decisions,
Authority innovation-decisions.
By: Rajesh

Optional Innovation-Decision
This decision is made by an individualwho is in some way distinguished fromothers in a social system.
Collective Innovation-Decision Made collectively by all individuals of asocial system.
Authority Innovation-Decision
Made for the entire social system by fewindividuals in positions of influence orpower.

Everett M. Rogers categorized it into five
stages (steps) as:
An individual might reject an innovation at
any time during or after the adoption process.

Characteristics ofInnovations
which determine the
RATE OF ADOPTION
Characteristics:
Relative Advantage
Compatibility
Complexity
Trialability
Observability
By: Meenaz

17/24
Relative advantage:
how improved an innovation is over the
previous generation. Several Analysis
The greater the perceived relative advantageof an innovation, the more rapid its rate of
adoption will be.
Compatibility:
The innovation has to be absorbed into an
individuals life. degree to which the product is consistent
with existing values and past experience ofthe adopters
8/7/2019 Lakshya Presentation for CB
18/24
Complexity: whether it is easy to be adopted, if the innovation is
too difficult to use then individual will not likely
adopt it.Trialability: ability to make trials easy for new products.
New ideas that can be tried beforhand be adoptedmore quickly than innovations that are notdivisible.
Trialability reduces Uncertainity.
Observability: the extent that an innovation is visible.
The easier it is for individuals to see the results of aninnovation, the more likely they are to adopt it.
Visible will drive communication.

Adopter categories
Everett M. Rogers in his book categorisesadopters into 5 Classes:
innovators,
early adopters,
early majority, late majority,
laggards
By: Rishikesh

Innovators First to adopt an innovation. They are:
willing to take risks, Generally young in age,
Are from high social class, have greatfinancial lucidity.
Early Adopters Second fastest category of individuals who
adopt an innovation.
Early adopters are academically advancedand are socially forward. Maintain centralcommunication position
These individuals have the highest degree of
opinion leadership among the other adoptercategories.

Laggards The last to adopt an innovation.
They do not like to change . Generally are advanced in age.
Are focused on traditions.

23/24
Shortfalls of the Study It is an overly simplified representation of a complex
reality. Adopters often fall within differentcategories for different innovations: a currentlaggard can be an early adopter the next timearound.
The model is not predictive. It does not provide
insight in how well a new idea or product will dobefore it has gone through its adoption curve.
Customers often adapt technology to their ownneeds, so the innovation may actually change in
usage when moving from the early adopters to themajority of users.
Innovation is often not an free-standing process,but part of a larger historical setting. An example isthe QWERTY PC keyboard whose design originated
from 19th century mechanical typewriters.
