摘要
By considering the local network effects of innovation, this paper uses an agent-based model to study the joint effects of consumer heterogeneity and network structure on innovation diffusion over the product life cycle (PLC). The simulation results show that the characteristics of Triadic Closure in adopters' decision pattern don't influence the diffusion speed at early stage. The high heterogeneity of customers' preference causes an early take-off of innovation diffusion. Meanwhile, the influence of those two factors above on the diffusion speed of innovation at middle and late stage exhibit different patterns due to the different structures of social network.
