“…If this assumption is violated, the coefficients for coalition choice on perceived utility (P64 = .454) and on anticipated conflict (P65 = -.346) could be biased and inconsistent (Johnston, 1963: 253). Two-stage least squares was used to re-estimate the paths from the intervening variables to coalition choice, because it does not require the assumption of uncorrelated error and enables one to determine whether correlated error poses a problem (Johnston, 1963;Mason and Halter, 1968;Miller, 1971;Land, 1973). With two-stage least squares, the path coefficient for coalition choice on perceived utility is P64 = .377, and it is P65 = -.266 for anticipated conflict.…”

This paper examines research on the diffusion of innovation, the final stage in the process of techrtological change. The focus rests primarily on two traditions in diffusion research: that of economists and that of sociologists. Diffusion researchers in these and related disciplines have made significant contributions to the understanding of the dynamics of processes of change; yet the state of the art in diffusion research is not equal to the sum of its parts. This is due in large measure to disciplinary parochialism: scholars have concentrated on those innovations, diffusion environments, explanatory variables, and analytical methodologies which are most compatible with their particular disciplines, despite the fact that diffusion is not a discipline-specific phenomenon. Deficiencies in current understanding of diffusion are examined in the context of this and other significant problems. The paper concludes by considering the policy relevance of diffusion research and suggesting issues with which future research might productively be concerned.
