Roger’s Diffusion of Innovations

According to Everett Roger, the origins of the diffusion of innovations theory are very various.He claims that there are four main elements that influence the spread of a new idea:-innovation-communication channels-time-social system

In blue, groups of consumers cross the market share, In yellow, to reach the critical mass.

Moore’s Innovation Adoption Rate

• Moore introduced what he called "the chasm” to Roger’s concept.

• Moore noticed that Roger’s innovators and early adaptors wouldn’t reach a full market as well as early and late majority adaptors.

• This is the area that Moore calls the chasm. Crossing the chasm seems to be a critical and difficult task that any innovation or innovative company must successfully accomplish to reach wide market success.

Moore’s Innovation Adoption Rate

Critical Mass Theory

• According to Roger, “critical mass is a sufficient number of adopters of an innovation in a social system so that the rate of adoption becomes self-sustaining and creates further growth.”
