Abstract
Abstract This paper introduces a model for the diffusion of add-ons that consist of new industrial technologies embedded in mature products. These new technologies are targeted to improve attributes such as the performance, convenience, safety, etc., of the carrier product that incorporates them. Although the rationale for the purchase of the carrier product is driven primarily by mature market factors such as physical wear-out or changing personal needs, the innovative technologies embedded in the design of these products and the advantages they offer provide a competitive edge to the brands that incorporate them. We examine the potential growth of the market share of products that incorporate new technologies within this overall carrier market. We apply our model to the diffusion of green buildings that incorporate better thermal insulation through the use of new materials. For this purpose, we draw on surveys and industry data to estimate the parameters of the model.
期刊介绍:
The Review of Marketing Science (ROMS) is a peer-reviewed electronic-only journal whose mission is twofold: wide and rapid dissemination of the latest research in marketing, and one-stop review of important marketing research across the field, past and present. Unlike most marketing journals, ROMS is able to publish peer-reviewed articles immediately thanks to its electronic format. Electronic publication is designed to ensure speedy publication. It works in a very novel and simple way. An issue of ROMS opens and then closes after a year. All papers accepted during the year are part of the issue, and appear as soon as they are accepted. Combined with the rapid peer review process, this makes for quick dissemination.
