Abstract Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) Theory focuses on studying how innovations, which maybe practices or ideas perceived as a new thing, are spread. DIO theory is based on the idea that a few individuals within a social system initially adopt an innovation such as a new service or product, and then over time more people adopt this innovation until all the social system's members adopt it. This research presents some topics related to DOI: characteristics of DOI, innovators and types of adopters

Applying Diffusion of Innovations Theory November 14, 2010 COM 126 K. Vook Once innovation occurs, innovations may be spread from the innovator to other individuals and groups. In 1962, Everett Rogers proposed that the life cycle of innovations can be described using the “s-curve” or diffusion curve. The s-curve maps growth of revenue or productivity against time. In the early stage of a particular innovation, growth is relatively slow as the new product establishes itself. At some point
