A New Product Growth for Model Consumer Durables
TL;DR: A growth model for the timing of initial purchase of new products is developed and tested empirically against data for eleven consumer durables, and a long-range forecast is developed for the sales of color television sets.

Abstract: (This article originally appeared in Management Science, January 1969, Volume 15, Number 5, pp. 215-227, published by The Institute of Management Sciences.)
A growth model for the timing of initial purchase of new products is developed and tested empirically against data for eleven consumer durables. The basic assumption of the model is that the timing of a consumer's initial purchase is related to the number of previous buyers. A behavioral rationale for the model is offered in terms of innovative and imitative behavior. The model yields good predictions of the sales peak and the timing of the peak when applied to historical data. A long-range forecast is developed for the sales of color television sets.

Paul Denholm,Easan Drury,Robert Margolis +2 more
- 01 Sep 2009
TL;DR: The Solar Deployment System (SolarDS) model is a bottom-up, market penetration model that simulates the potential adoption of photovoltaics (PV) on residential and commercial rooftops in the continental United States through 2030 as mentioned in this paper.
An evaluation of the time-varying extended logistic, simple logistic, and Gompertz models for forecasting short product lifecycles
Charles V. Trappey,Hsin-Ying Wu +1 more
TL;DR: The results show that the time-varying extended logistic model fits short product lifecycle datasets 70% better than the simple logistic and the Gompertz models and is better suited to predict market capacity with limited historical data as is typically the case for short lifecycle products.

Modelling a dynamic market potential: A class of automata networks for diffusion of innovations
Renato Guseo,Mariangela Guidolin +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that an adoption or purchase process is nested in a communication network that evolves dynamically and indirectly generates a latent non-constant market potential affecting the adoption phase, resulting in a nested process depicting the proper purchase dynamics.

Technical change and the rate of imitation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the factors determining how rapidly the use of a new technique spreads from one firm to another and presented a simple model to help explain differences among innovations in the rate of imitation.
