4. In 1962, a theory called Diffusion of
Innovation ( idea, practice or object)
was developed by Everett Rogers yet,
not everyone has the same motivation
for adopting a new idea
(product/service or system).
There are five types of adopters he
identified in his theory:
6. . INNOVATORS
They adopt something simply
because it is new. They love exploring
for the sake of pleasure or exploring
and are willing to take risks, even if
those risks result in failure. They are
adventurer.
They are often opinion leaders.
Similar to innovators, they adopt
quickly. But, they are more
concerned about the coolness factor
and maintaining their reputations as
being ahead of the curve on new
ideas.
. EARLY ADOPTERS
7. . EARLY MAJORITY
They belong to the mass that
critically ensures adoption. They
look for productivity and practical
benefits more than coolness or
reputation.
The same to early majority, they
critically ensure the adaptation
process. They are somewhat similar
to early majority but also expect a lot
of help and support before they are
willing to commit.
. LATE MAJORITY
8. . LAGGARDS
As the term implies, slow to
adaptation. They are most
resistant to change and do so only
when forced to adopt because
everyone else has. In other word,
they have no choice if urgency
requires them to do so.
