The ninth book in MSI's Relevant Knowledge Series, Innovation Diffusion and New Product Growth by Eitan Muller, Renana Peres, and Vijay Mahajan, offers a framework for understanding how diffusion occurs in today’s multifaceted and complex markets. In their review of classic and more recent diffusion models, the authors investigate the mechanisms that underlie new product growth—with particular attention to current market trends such as information proliferation, globalization, competition, social networks, and growth in service markets. 106 pages.
