Introduction

On 25 November 1998, I wrote to ISWorld asking for URLs and/or citations for valuable works on the topic of Innovation Diffusion, especially annotated literature reviews.

There were about a dozen responses, and the correspondents are listed at the end. This document interleaves the respondents' contributions with some other web-search results.


Contents


Background

The foundation work in the area is Rogers, E. 'Diffusion of Innovations' 3rd Ed., The Free Press, 1983.

For a quick introduction, see InnDiff.html.


IFIP WG 8.6

There is a specialist Working Group on the Diffusion, Adoption and Implementation of Information Technology, which has been operational since 1993-94. It lives at http://www.isi.salford.ac.uk/ifip/.

It runs a closed e-list, for members of WG8.6, IFIP86@LISTSERV.INDIANA.EDU. Joining instructions for this e-list are at http://www.indiana.edu/~ifip86/index.html#LISTSERVE.
