The Diffusion of Innovations: an Update

The scope of the present report The findings of our second study reflected the situation around 1980. The purpose of this note is to bring them up to date, that is to the middle of the decade, following the diffusion route through maturity towards saturation point, which some of the technologies originally selected have already reached. With this report we have covered more than 30 years of the lifetime of the technologies originally selected. The present report extends the coverage of the earlier studies by including two important new technologies, robots and flexible manufacturing systems, that are at a relatively early stage of their dissemination.
