Diffusion of Innovations, 5th Edition
内容简介
Now in its fifth edition, Diffusion of Innovations is a classic work on the spread of new ideas. It has sold 30,000 copies in each edition and will continue to reach a huge academic audience.
In this renowned book, Everett M. Rogers, professor and chair of the Department of Communication & Journalism at the University of New Mexico, explains how new ideas spread via communication channels over time. Such innovations are initially perceived as uncertain and even risky. To overcome this uncertainty, most people seek out others like themselves who have already adopted the new idea. Thus the diffusion process consists of a few individuals who first adopt an innovation, then spread the word among their circle of acquaintances--a process which typically takes months or years. But there are exceptions: use of the Internet in the 1990s, for example, may have spread more rapidly than any other innovation in the history of humankind. Furthermore, the Internet is changing the very nature of diffusion by decreasing the importance of physical distance between people. The fifth edition addresses the spread of the Internet, and how it has transformed the way human beings communicate and adopt new ideas.

Dr. Everett M. Rogers is Distinguished Professor in the Department of Communication and Journalism at the University of New Mexico (UNM), where he teaches and conducts research on the diffusion of innovations. He also holds courtesy appointments in the UNM Center on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Addictions, where he conducts research on preventing drunk driving, and in the UNM Center for Prevention Research, where he conducts research on the sustainability of public health innovations. Rogers also is currently involved in research projects on bridging the digital divide in New Mexico and on how Indian audiences give meaning to health content in Hollywood soap operas such as The Bold and the Beautiful. Currently in his forty-fifth year of university teaching, Rogers has taught at Ohio State University, Michigan State University, the University of Michigan, Stanford University, and the University of Southern California, and at the National University of Colombia (Bogotá), the University of Paris, the University of Bayreuth (Germany), and Nanyang Technological University (Singapore).
The four previous editions of Diffusion of Innovations have received various awards. In 1990, the Institute for Scientific Information designated Diffusion of Innovations as a "Citation Classic" on the basis of the large number of citations (approximately 7,000) that it received in articles published in social science journals. This book was selected by Inc. magazine in 1996 as one of the ten classic books in business and in 2000 was designated as a "Significant Journalism and Communication Book of the Twentieth Century" by Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly. It was also awarded the first Fellows Book Award in the Field of Communication by the International Communication Association's fellows in 2000.

ELEMENTS OF DIFFUSION
There is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than the creation of a new order of things....Whenever his enemies have the ability to attack the innovator, they do so with the passion of partisans, while the others defend him sluggishly, so that the innovator and his party alike are vulnerable.
Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince (1513)
Getting a new idea adopted, even when it has obvious advantages, is difficult. Many innovations require a lengthy period of many years from the time when they become available to the time when they are widely adopted. Therefore, a common problem for many individuals and organizations is how to speed up the rate of diffusion of an innovation. The following case illustration provides insight into some common difficulties facing diffusion campaigns.

用户评价
阅读体验的流畅性，很大程度上取决于作者的叙事能力和逻辑构建。这本书的行文风格，带着一种学者特有的严谨与清晰，但又巧妙地融入了许多富有洞察力的行业实例。它不像某些教科书那样枯燥乏味，反而像是一位经验丰富的导师，循循善诱地引导你进入一个全新的思维领域。每当我们开始接触一个新概念时，作者总能提供一个非常贴切的、现实生活中的场景作为切入点，这种“具象化”的处理方式，使得抽象的理论不再高悬于空，而是立刻扎根于我们日常所见的现象之中。接着，作者会不急不缓地剖析背后的驱动因素和作用机制，论证过程层层递进，环环相扣，让人在不知不觉中就接受了那些原本可能需要多次研读才能消化的知识点。这种叙述的节奏感，掌控得恰到好处，既有足够的深度，又保持了足够的开放性，读完一个章节后，总会留下一些值得反复咀嚼的思考余地。
评分这本书最让我感到震撼的是它所蕴含的哲学思考深度。它探讨的并非仅仅是技术或产品的传播，而是人类社会在面对新事物时的心理抗拒、群体动力学以及文化适应的本质。在阅读过程中，你会不断地被引导去反思我们习以为常的接受新事物的模式。作者似乎在暗示，所有的“扩散”背后，其实都是深层次的人类行为和认知模式的体现。这种超越表象的洞察，让这本书的价值不再局限于商业或技术领域，而是触及到了社会科学的更深层面。它提供了一种全新的“透镜”，让我能够以一种更宏大、更具历史感的视角去看待我们身边每天都在发生的细微变化，从而获得一种对社会动态发展更深刻的理解和敬畏之心。
评分从内容的广度和深度来看，这本书展现出的知识体系的完整性是令人印象深刻的。它似乎囊括了从理论源头到最新实践的各个关键节点，构建了一个非常坚固的知识框架。我特别欣赏作者在处理跨学科概念时的那种游刃有余。它不拘泥于单一的学科视角，而是将社会学、心理学、市场营销乃至技术传播等多个维度的洞察力融为一炉，构建了一个多维度的分析工具箱。对于任何想要系统性理解一个事物如何从无到有、从小范围扩散到大规模普及的读者来说，这里提供的分析框架无疑是非常有力的武器。它不仅仅告诉你“是什么”，更重要的是，它教会你“为什么”以及“如何”去预测和引导这些过程。这种百科全书式的广度，配上深入骨髓的专业度，使得这本书的参考价值极高，可以成为案头常备的工具书。
评分这本书的实操指导价值，远超我最初的预期。很多理论书籍读完后，常常会有一种“学了一堆道理，却不知从何下手”的空虚感。然而，这本书似乎深知读者的这种困惑，它在理论讲解之后，总是紧接着提供一套清晰的、可操作的分析步骤和评估工具。举例来说，在分析某个创新进入市场的阶段时，书中提供的矩阵和模型，几乎可以立刻被应用到手头正在进行的项目中去进行校验和优化。它不是空泛地谈论“成功要素”，而是具体到在特定的时间点上，应该关注哪些关键的早期采纳者群体，如何调整沟通策略来跨越鸿沟。这种“即插即用”的特性，让阅读过程充满了生产力，让人感觉自己正在进行的不是一种被动的知识接收，而是一种主动的、实时的能力提升。
评分这本书的装帧设计着实让人眼前一亮，初拿到手时，那种沉甸甸的质感和封面材质的触感，就让人感觉这是一本值得细细品读的重量级著作。内页的纸张选择也十分考究，既保证了阅读时的舒适度，又不至于让眼睛感到疲劳。排版布局上，看得出设计者在细节之处下了不少功夫，字体大小和行间距的把握恰到好处，即使是面对大段的理论阐述，也显得清晰有序，让人能专注于内容的本身。特别是那些图表和案例的呈现方式，设计得非常直观和现代化，将复杂的模型和数据用视觉化的方式呈现出来，极大地提升了阅读的效率和趣味性。这样的用心，不仅仅是形式上的包装，更是对阅读体验的一种尊重，让我对接下来将要探索的内容充满了期待。翻开扉页，仿佛已经能感受到作者在梳理这些知识体系时所投入的巨大心血，这种对品质的追求，在如今这个追求快速消费的时代，显得尤为珍贵。
