Quiz 2 Flashcards
The diffusion of technology through innovation has been first explained by:
Rogers
What makes the potential value of smart robots integrated in manufacturing?
Reactivity, productivity, quality
What is/are the most important determinants of diffusion of connected cars?
Both safety and infrastructures
The theory of the diffusion of innovation has been popularized
In the 60’s (more demanding consumers)
By 2020, it is expected that many connected vehicles will be on the road, more precisely, it could be about:
250 millions
The epidemic model argues that the speed of technology diffusion depends on:
Information people receive
Smart robots used in production lines are:
A tool to increase industrials productivity
What is the expected market for connected cars services by 2020?
$40 billions
The more spread a technology the more benefits form the effect of :
Economies of scale
Cars with embedded connectivity solutions were first marketed in:

A quarter billion
Several levers could help smartcars to be adopted, among those, legislation that are
A determinant of the market diffusion
Externalities that accelerate diffusion are:
The availability complementary goods
Big bang diffusion of innovation means:
Accelerated rate of adoption
What are the 2 conceptual models of technology diffusion?
Epidemic and probit
In 2017, the adoption of connected cars:
Grows through driver assistance
The diffusion of technology depends on:
The offer, the customers and externalities
Rogers S-curve is made of :
Cumulative adoption (x) time
The probit model of diffusion underlies that:
Firms might be willing to slow the diffusion
Which route to technology diffusion is taken by smart robots integrated in manufacturing?
New or better value chain
Rogers’ S curve shows how and why:
Early adopters are the most important customers for technology
