Early Adopters – (or visionaries) – provide insight to match an emerging technologies to a strategic opportunity. (E.g. Henry Ford assembly line they did not look for improvement. Rather they looked for a breakthrough. The Early Adopters communicate the deliverable to the next group: (Price sensitively, ease of use.) Laggard – are the skeptics.

The second crack (between Early Adopters and Early Majority) is even more important. The transition requires a need for a strategic leap. E.g. LAN’s launch has been attempted several times in the early eighties until the development of Novel software running on IBM PC hardware with interface cards that fitted into existing IBM PC slots. h:\share\rabino\information and marketing strategy.ppt
