Diffusion of Innovations

Everett M. Rogers

Rogers, E.(2003). Diffusion of Innovations, 5th Edition. New York: Free Press.

Introduction

Everett Rodgers proposes the decisive model of change and innovation. Innovation is diffused to members of a social system, over time through certain channels. There are four key elements when diffusing a new idea:

1. What is the innovation
2. How is it communicated
3. The idea is transmitted over time
4. The idea is diffused to members of a social system

Rogers outlines five stages for the diffusion of innovation:
1. Knowledge
2. Persuasion
3. Decision
4. Implementation
5. Confirmation
