The Conception of Diffusion of Innovativeness of Enterprises: Space-Time Process

Abstract

The article is aimed at elaborating the conception of diffusion of innovativeness of enterprises in the space-time process, which is formed under influence of the active development of scientific and technological progress. The flow velocity of the process of diffusion of innovativeness according to E. Rogers, depending on the main properties of innovation (new product) and evaluated by potential consumers when making a decision, is considered. The stages of the space-time process of attracting an individual consumer (economic entity) for adoption (use) of innovation (new product) are defined. It is indicated that an important component of the diffusion of innovativeness of enterprises in the space-time process takes into account the peculiarities of heterogeneity and uneven socio-economic development of enterprises. It is defined that the main tasks of diffusion of innovativeness of enterprises are the following: ensuring efficient employment of the workforce and creating additional jobs by expanding new production facilities; updating technically obsolete productions, developing the scientific-technological potential; spread of progressive, safe technologies from the scientific centers where innovation is born, etc. A conception of diffusions of innovativeness of enterprises in the space-time process is proposed as well.
