The primary objects of this research were applying the innovation diffusion model to internet hosts and internet subscribers . The results of this study may be a useful reference to the further concept building of the relationship of innovative and adopters.

This paper constructs an additive two-stage network DEA (data envelopment analysis) model with consideration of undesirable outputs and shared inputs. Following the triple bottom line standard of sustainability, we calculate both the overall and sub-stage sustainability performance of railway transportation in China from 2002 to 2013, from the aspects of economy, environment and society. The re...

Purpose Rogers’ diffusion of innovations theory typically concerns attributes that steer the process of inducing new ideas through various communication channels, which essentially diffuse different types of innovations into different systems. After Rogers, Tornatzky and Klein presented 30 such attributes (five of which were Rogers’) that steered the process of innovation diffusion. This paper ...

After analyzing the uncertainty of technology innovation diffusion (TID), this paper proposes the model of enterprises’ TID based on geometric Brownian motion with jump, and analyzes the optional timing and influence of adopting innovation technology on TID by each parameter. The results show that enterprise should immediately adopts the technology when its market demand is greater than the opt...

In this paper we develop a theoretical model in order to understand co-movements between asset returns and consumption over short and long horizons. We present an intertemporal general equilibrium model featuring two types of shocks: "small", frequent and disembodied shocks to productivity and "large" technological innovations, which are embodied into new vintages of the capital stock. The latt...

In this paper we study the implications of general-purpose technological growth for asset prices. The model features two types of shocks: “small”, frequent, and disembodied shocks to productivity and “large” technological innovations, which are embodied into new vintages of the capital stock. While the former affect the economy on impact, the latter affect the economy with lags, since firms nee...

Technological innovations provide new possibilities to transform the teaching and learning process. It is important that teacher education programs not only add courses that teach about integrating technology, there must also be a movement for comprehensive programmatic change. The change should reflect a transformation in teaching methodology to influence teaching pedagogy. In this paper, a ra...

The following paper shows an interactive tool which main purpose is to teach how to play a flute. It consists of three stages the first one is the instruction and teaching process through a software application, the second is the practice part when the user starts to play the flute (hardware specially designed for this application) this flute is capable of capturing how is being played the flut...

New product innovations are emerging in large numbers day by day, and constantly struggling for market acceptance. Various models have been constructed to explore the principles of innovation diffusion and market share. The relationships between those innovations also draw the attention of scholars, and many competition models have been established to show today’s competitive social environment...

Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this article is to integrate existing theoretical explanations for innovation diffusion across the disciplines of marketing, innovation and sociology research. Design/methodology/approach – Literature reviews and historical case analysis were used to support an integrative model. Findings – Innovation diffusion is affected by technological, social and learning ...
