Yes, expand, but NO, don't merge with Diffusion (Business). Just because a concept is adopted by business does not mean it is a business concept! I realize that it is radical to think that everything is not business these days, but Diffusion of Innovations is at its root a social theory and is now adopted by many disciplines including political science and applied linguistics, to name two. It has much broader applicability than business, and should be referenced in the Diffusions (business) section, but not merged with it. Diffusion of Innovations needs preservation and expansion, not merging.

I plan to expand the section "The S-Curve and technology adoption" using material posted here: [1] with the permission of the page author. --Trleith 18:28, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
I agree completely -- this doesn't belong in business. I learned DoI in sociology and use it extensively in mass communication fields... it's not about business, it's about human behavior. Ctobola 08:54, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not About Physics!
This article has absolutely nothing to do with physics- why has it been marked to be included in the Physics portal?! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 137.195.137.55 (talk) 15:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] challenge the unreferenced tag
Rogers' book is the classic in the field and it's title is the same as the article title. Please select a more appropriate tag, as Rogers is the source. --69.215.113.206 12:00, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removing memetics category
I am removing the memetics category from this article since you learn no more about the article's contents from the category and v.v. Since so many things may be memes we should try to keep the category closely defined in order to remain useful. Hope you're okay with that. The link to meme would be enough I suggest.

[edit] Any Comparison with Planned Shrinkage
Are there any attributes in common with Diffusion of Innovation with the concept of Planned Shrinkage.
