ITPEC FE Subject A October 2024 Question 50
ITPEC FE Subject A October 2024 — Question 50 of 60
Five groups in order of adoption speed:
1. Innovators — first, risk-tolerant, no social influence needed
2. Early Adopters — research independently, trend-sensitive, high social influence
3. Early Majority — wait for validation from early adopters
4. Late Majority — skeptical, adopt only after most people do
5. Laggards — most conservative, may never adopt
Why not others:
- (b) Innovators — adopt at the soonest phase without worrying about risks
- (c) Late Majority — skeptical, wait until most people around them have adopted
- (d) Laggards — most conservative, may refuse adoption entirely
Key rule: Early Adopters ≠ Innovators. They research and influence others; Innovators just jump in without care for risk.
