A Maturity Model for Rapid Diffusion of Innovation in High Value Manufacturing

Diffusion of Innovation in Sustainable Development Projects: A Proposed Integrative Model

“…Later, other constructs were considered such as trust in technology, employee self-efficacy, the gap in capabilities, service quality, and financial capabilities (Alyoubi & Yamin, 2021). This was followed by the introduction of the diffusion of innovation curve (Alyoubi & Yamin, 2021;Schwabe et al, 2021). It illustrated innovation stages from ideation to market saturation (Alyoubi & Yamin, 2021;Schwabe et al, 2021).…”

The innovation curve involved roles described as "innovators", "early adopters", "early majority", "late majority" and "laggards" (Schwabe et al, 2021).…”

“…It illustrated innovation stages from ideation to market saturation (Alyoubi & Yamin, 2021;Schwabe et al, 2021). The innovation curve involved roles described as "innovators", "early adopters", "early majority", "late majority" and "laggards" (Schwabe et al, 2021). In particular, the inventor enjoys experimentation and coordinates with inventors; innovators are open to change; early adopters act as influencers sharing success stories; early majority adopters are followers who are open to change but require support from earlier adopter users; late majority adopters are not interested in change and often adopt innovations, if necessary; and Laggard adopters need to understand the benefits to adopt the change (Schwabe et al, 2021).…”

“…The uncertainties associated with the diffusion of innovation give rise to concern in sustainable development projects (Schwabe et al, 2021). High uncertainty commonly exists, because the required changes are new, including highly regulated design and engineering solutions (Schwabe et al, 2021).…”

“…The uncertainties associated with the diffusion of innovation give rise to concern in sustainable development projects (Schwabe et al, 2021). High uncertainty commonly exists, because the required changes are new, including highly regulated design and engineering solutions (Schwabe et al, 2021). This has encouraged researchers to look at factors that could increase or decrease the level of uncertainties, which could in turn lead to the success or failure of innovation (Schwabe et al, 2021).…”
