Technology Adoption Models


Paradigm shift Moore's Law

Technology adoption life cycle


Diffusion of innovation

Paradigm shift
Paradigm- a common belief in a theory and its principles Paradigm shift a change from one way of thinking to another

When a paradigm shift occurs, an intellectual battle frequently takes place between those who adopt the new paradigm and those who cling to the old paradigm

Can you think of example of a paradigm shift?

Moore's Law
Moore's Law an analogy for advances in technological innovation In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon E. Moore predicted the overall processing power for computers will double every two years. This became known as Moores Law. It continues to hold true for almost every measure of capabilities for electronic devices.

Technology adoption life cycle


Technology adoption life cycle the degree to which members of a population will adopt or accept a new product or innovation Adoption life cycle:
Innovators Early adapters Early majority Late majority Laggards

Technology adoption life cycle


Innovators Members of this group, often described as techies, are interested in trying new technologies, but never want to pay for them. Rather, they prefer to be paid to use these innovations. Early adapters Also known as visionaries, these users are ahead of the curve and willing to try new technologies. Early majority This group, also referred to as the pragmatists, sticks with the herd and will rarely be the first to try out a new technology. Late majority The fourth group, also referred to as the conservatives, typically raises a lot of questions, slowing the decisionmaking process. As its name implies, this group is late to adopt technology, and it is fairly large in number. Laggards Also referred to as the skeptics, this last group will likely never obtain a new technology unless someone else in the practice makes the decision to purchase it. Laggards tend to be naysayers who try to block purchases.

Journal Entry
Write in your journal which part of the adoption life cycle explains your buying habits

Diffusion of innovation
Diffusion of innovation early adopters and the early majority have different expectations of a product Describes how, why and what rate new ideas and technologies spread through cultures Moore argued there is a chasm between early adopters of a product and early majority

Diffusion of innovation
Choosing a target market-the market segment to which a product I marketed. The target market can be defined by age, gender, geography or nay other combination of demographic factors. Product positioning- the process by which marketers try to create an image or identify of the product in the minds of their potential buyers so the buyers can determine its value relative to competing products. Understanding the whole product concept-the generic product needs to be augmented by training and support, manuals, accessories, and so forth that give customers a compelling reason to buy the product

Diffusion of innovation
Marketing strategy- the process by which marketers concentrate their finite resources to maximize sales opportunities for their products Choosing appropriate distribution channels- the process of determining which intermediary organizations marketers can use to most effectively make the product available to consumers. Pricing- the process of determining the amount to charge for a product that helps achieve profitability for the organization, fits the realties of the marketplace, and supports the products positioning.

Business Modeling
Ontology the study of how a particular knowledge domain, or system, is organized Business ontology describes the flow of information through a business hierarchy Ontology and IT Web Ontology Language (OWL)

Data Modeling
Data modeling determines the requirements that a database must fulfill in order to function properly for an organization Data modeling steps:
Planning and analysis Conceptual design Logical design Physical design Implementation

The Importance of Standards


Standards help govern the ease with which information can be exchanged and understood between people, businesses and systems International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9000 World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)


Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)

Summary
