Adoption Curve
| The adoption curve is the rate at which individuals or organizations adopt a new technology. The term is often used in reference to the diffusion of innovation. The adoption curve describes how a new technology is adopted over time. The adoption curve has four phases: early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. The early adopters are the first to adopt a new technology. They are typically innovators and risk-takers. They are willing to try new things and are quick to adopt new technologies. The early majority are the next to adopt a new technology. They are typically early adopters who are slower to adopt new technologies. The late majority are the last to adopt a new technology. They are typically laggards who are reluctant to adopt new technologies. The laggards are the last to adopt a new technology. They are typically resistant to change and are reluctant to adopt new technologies. |
