Diffusion of New Products: Empirical Generalizations and Managerial Uses
Abstract
The diffusion model developed by Bass (Bass, F. M. 1969. A new product growth model for consumer durables. Management Sci. 15(January) 215–227.) constitutes an empirical generalization. It represents a pattern or regularity that has been shown to repeat over many new products and services in many countries and over a variety circumstances. Numerous and various applications of the model have lead to further generalizations. Modifications and extensions of the model have lead to further generalizations. In addition to the empirical generalizations that stem from the model, we discuss here some of the managerial applications of the model.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
