  10. Industrial innovators • larger firms • financially powerful • faster growing • with high R&D spending • with a younger CEO

  11. What promotes diffusion?(consumer markets) • homogeneity of social system • cultural norms (religion) • language • ethnic homogeneity • social mobility • “density” of social system • physical and social mobility within the social system • wealth

  12. What promotes diffusion in industrial markets? • homogeneity of customer base • industry concentration/globalization • “intermediate” level of competition • level of professionalization • Mobility of employees
