Competitive Innovation Diffusion in Small-World Network: Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the dynamic process when two competitive innovations diffuse simultaneously in the small world network. To illustrate the micro diffusion process, an agent-based modeling and simulation method is applied. In the agent based model, there are two competitive innovations. Agents make decisions to adopt one of the innovations according to the utility value. The sensitivity of the parameters of the utility function is analyzed. The result indicates that in the early stage and the late stage the advertisement strategy is better; while in the middle stage the word-of-mouth will be better.

School Leaders’ Learning of Diffusion of Innovation through Agent Based Modeling - Coupling Modeling and Simulation Process with Learners’ Interaction with Diffusion System
If school diffusion of innovation is viewed as complex adaptive process, how shall we prepare school leaders to be effective diffusion decision makers? Coming from the epistemological belief that knowledge is subjective and embodied, this paper proposes to use Agent Based Modeling (ABM) for learning by focus on learning to “do” diffusion of innovation rather than learning about diffusion of inn...
متن کاملOrganizational Learning and Knowledge Spillover in Innovation Networks: Agent-Based Approach (Extending SKIN Framework)
In knowledge-based economy, knowledge has a public good and non-rivalry nature. Firms build their own knowledge stock not only by means of internal R&D and collaboration with partners, but also by means of previously spilled over knowledge of other firms and public research laboratories (such as universities). Firms based on their absorptive capacity, and level of intra-industry and extra-indus...
متن کاملIsing-like agent-based technology diffusion model: adoption patterns for different topologies
The well-known Ising model used in statistical physics was adapted to a social dynamics context to simulate the adoption of a technological innovation. The model explicitly combines (a) an individual‟s perception of the advantages of an innovation and (b) social influence from members of the decision-maker‟s social network. The micro-level adoption dynamics are embedded into an agent-based mode...

Banks are the financial institutions that collect assets from various sources and allocate them to the sectors that require liquidity. Therefore, banks are an inherent element in the system of every country. As private banks enter financial markets, the demand for diverse banking services increases dramatically. Banks seek to use various techniques to improve their performance in attracting cus...
متن کاملModeling the Drivers of Eco-Innovation Adoption within Iranian Manufacturing Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
There are various studies on the eco-innovation in the literature, but there is a scarcity of studies on the adoption and diffusion within manufacturing small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). Drivers to adopt eco-innovations by manufacturing SMEs are required to be understood properly and be analyzed regarding the relationships among them. Hence, the purpose of this study is to identify the ...
