Choice The name of Everett Rogers...is virtually synonymous with
the study of the diffusion of innovations....His coverage is
comprehensive, ranging from the elements of diffusion and the
history of diffusion research to generators of innovation, change
agents, and the consequences of innovations. Among the many
features that make this an exemplary interdisciplinary effort are
Rogers's clear, literate style and his ability to stay in touch
with social realities. He sets a high standard for social
theorists.
Technology and Culture A classic work....Full of interesting
insights, solid examples, and good common sense.
Journal of Communication Incorporates important
advances...presented in the usual clear, didactic, and often
light-spirited style of the author, who also offers choice examples
of his wide cross-cultural experiences. The result is a highly
readable and discussion-provoking text.
Engineering Management Society Holds several important lessons for
anyone planning the introduction of new ideas in a
firm....Introduces the latest and probably some of the best
thinking in that area.
