The Best Diffusion ApproachDecentralized Diffusion Approach BestPeer to peer diffusion through horizontal

networksA problem centered approachLocal units deciding best use for adoption

Achieving Critical MassRecommended strategy for achieving critical

mass would be to give incentives to innovators to involve their networks in adopting the innovation.

A self-sustaining critical mass will occur when enough individuals adopt the innovation.(Rogers. 2003)
