Diffusion of innovation

“Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated through media over time among members of a social system”.

• Adoption is a micro process that focuses on the stages through which an individual consumer passes when deciding to accept or reject a new product.

DIFFUSION PROCESS

Innovation Channels Of

communicationSocial system Time

InnovationIt is any idea or product perceived by the potential adopter to be new. New products are ideas, behavior or things that are qualitatively different from existing forms.

Channels of Communication• How quickly innovation spread depends on channel

on communication.

• Correct communication channels used during the process of diffusion, oriented towards behaviour and preferences of the target category of adopters

• Internet, TV, radio, banners, Sms, News papers, e-Commerce.

Social System

• It can be of two type :I. Traditional social system II. Modern social system

Time• Backbone of diffusion process.• it spread the study of diffusion in three distinct

ways :1.The amount of purchase time.2.The identification of adopter categories3.The rate of adoption.

Adoption

• Adoption is a major step in the diffusion of innovation

• Its is how consumer decides whether try or not to try and adopt innovative product/services.
