Q

what are early adopters

A
  • those who are not as risk taking as innovators and wait until the product/service receives reviews before purchasing

Q

what is relative advantage

A
  • the degree to which customers perceive a new product/service as superior to similar existing products determines the relative advantage
  • the more radical a change, and the higher the relative advantage, the faster would be the diffusion
17
Q

what is compatibility

A
  • measures how closely it relates to needs, value systems, norms and cultures
  • higher compatibility = higher diffusion
  • e.g. pizzas, burgers, noodles took a long time to get diffused into the Indian society, as it contrasted heavily with the daal roti concept.
18
Q

what is complexity

A
  • the level of complexity in a product purchase all affects the diffusion process
  • the easier it is to understand and use a product, the more likely it is to be accepted quickly
  • Technological complexity acts as a barrier to diffusion.
19
Q

what is trialability

A
  • the ease with which a product/service can be tested and tried
  • the higher the degree of trialability, the greater the rate of diffusion.
  • examples of trialability are free samples, smaller than average size packs, demos.
20
