Mechanisms, Channels, Agents of Diffusion of Innovations

In our opinion, the key role in the spread of innovations and their rooting in society belongs to the mechanisms of diffusion. The role of mechanisms of diffusion of innovations in the sphere of economic activity of the countries of the world is very significant and complicated. So what are the mechanisms of diffusion of innovations? Why is this phenomenon given much attention in the diffusion processes? The social statement of these questions is conditioned by the fact that the use of diffusion ideas is primarily focused on regional markets. Mechanisms of diffusion of innovations are systems of organized interrelations which carry out penetration of innovations and promote their implementation in practice. Mechanisms for diffusion of innovation are complex and multidimensional. These include: the state and administrative apparatus, legislation, education system, education, upbringing, medical care, production, army, living environment, migration, commercialization, where innovations, propaganda, fashion, sports, exhibitions, associations, society, etc. are spread. Paradoxically, but the mechanism of innovation dissemination may be a borrowed tradition, in which case innovation through cultural tradition itself becomes a tradition. A part of the mechanism of diffusion of innovations is channels - ways of penetration of innovations. They can be subdivided into interpersonal (transfer of information from person to person directly) and indirect (new objects, symbolic and technical means of information transfer, etc.). Live professional and personal contacts of representatives of different environments - joint work - writing articles; preparation of reports for conferences, writing scientific reports, sending preprints, living together; travel, etc. Of course, the list of examples could be continued, taking into account, for example, the phenomenon of media and the possibilities of digital technologies and the Internet for communication.
