iii-Katz (1957) :

iv-Everett M. Rogers
Diffusion of Innovations (1962-95)
the process by which an innovation is communicated
through certain channels over time among the
members of a social system

◦ Awareness - the individual is exposed to the innovation but
lacks complete information about it

◦ Interest - the individual becomes interested in the new idea
and seeks additional information about it

◦ Evaluation - individual mentally applies the innovation to
his present and anticipated future situation, and then decides
whether or not to try it

◦ Trial - the individual makes full use of the innovation

◦ Adoption - the individual decides to continue the full use of
the innovation
