The main elements will be specified and its affects on the speed of innovation diffusion will be extracted. Furthermore this work includes a critical description of the mathematical model of innovation diffusion processes developed by F. M. Bass in 1969 (III). Special focus in this part will be the interpretation of the coefficients p an q. At least there is a short summary about the effectiveness of innovation diffusion theory according to Rogers and Bass in face of reality (IV).
