Innovation and its diffusion: process, actors and actions

Rosa Caiazza, Tiziana Volpe · 2016 · Technology Analysis and Strategic Management

Summary. This paper systematizes research on innovation diffusion by organizing factors into three categories: process, actors, and actions. It identifies phases of how innovations spread between organizations, clarifies the roles of innovators, adopters, and intermediaries, and recommends policy actions to support diffusion. The framework synthesizes two decades of fragmented research into a coherent structure.
