5. Conceptual Model The Technology Acceptance Model, the Diffusion of Innovations Theory and the Theory of Reasoned Action were adapted to elaborate a new conceptual model in order to explain the phenomena of adoption and diffusion of digital marketing strategies in SMEs from the consumer behaviour perspective in developing markets (see Figure 5). Therefore, several elements of these theories were retaken. The Technology Acceptance Model is central for the theoretical framework, since it is the
Rogers (1962) defined an innovation as an idea, practice or object that is perceived as new by the individual. Feder et al, (1985) defined diffusion as a process through which an innovation is communicated through a certain channel over time among the member of the social system. This theory helps to understand the factors that influence the choices an individual on adopting CA. It is the basis of understanding adoption. Grepperud (2003) defined adoption as a degree of use new technology in long
indicated various determinants or drivers that had a positive effect on factor influences the acceptance the decision. Three widely used models or theories are reviewed and discussed in relation to internet banking services. These are theory of Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DOI) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). In the chapter, these theories are reviewed from prior studies and an attempt is made to identify the most suitable framework
in 2003 .As a model based on eight previous adoption models, which were being used to study about the users’ adoption and acceptance of new innovations. The most important factors from the models were chosen to present another model which can be seen as a new version of TAM which is more comprehensive .The model is used to explain user intention to use an information system. Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) The Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory was proposed and developed
Digital Innovation Introduction Organised Retail in India is one of the most dynamic and continuously evolving sectors. However with a CAGR of 15% over the last five years the industry presents a unique set of challenges. Some of these manifests itself in the form of growth of internet retailing and hence huge competition and pressure to match price discounts, fragmented nature of the sector, and increasing acceptance of private labels. Continuous innovation is therefore the only way for organised
Diffusion of Innovations Theory Categories of adopters: According to the adoption curve by Everett Rogers, the individuals in a given social system can fall in any of the following five categories of adopters which are namely innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. Innovators: Innovators who are often experienced, wealthier and/or highly educated people are brave and creative. According to Rogers, innovators accounts for about 2.5% of the population. They are attracted
Several definitions have been proffered for innovation. According to Business dictionary, innovation is the process of translating an idea or invention into good or service that creates value or for which customers will pay. Seaden (2001) on the other hand, identify innovation as the implementation of significantly new processes, products or management approaches in order to increase efficiency of an organization. Dulaimi (2005) define innovation as the generation, development, and implementation

Four widely used models or theories are reviewed and discussed in relation to internet banking services. These are theory of Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DOI) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). In the chapter, these theories are reviewed from prior studies and an attempt is made to identify the most suitable framework
The Oxford Dictionary describes innovation as the process of “mak[ing] changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or products. According to the OECD Oslo Manual, “innovation is the implementation of a new or significantly improved product (good or service), or process, a new marketing method, or a new organizational method in business practices, workplace organization or external relations”. The word implementation plays a key role in order to determine what is
2.3 Incremental vs Radical Innovation To summarize, incremental innovation compared to radical innovation: Incremental innovation is based on iterative efforts to provide new benefits, features, and improvements to products in the existing market based on existing technologies (i.e. improvements within a given frame of solutions [X6]). Examples of incremental innovation are improvements of the fuel efficiency of the combustion engines in vehicles, or technological improvements that make it possible
