Information Diffusion
June 23-28, 2008 (5 credits)
COMS 310 Call # 55523
9:10- 5 pm · MTWTHF · Lasher
Undergrad. Prerequisite: Soph, Jr, or Sr. Of every hundred new products, ideas, or practices, why is that only five percent succeed and ninety-five percent fail? Our purpose in this seminar is to provide an understanding (1) of diffusion theory, which seeks to explain the process through which innovations spread (or do not spread) over time via communication channels among the members of a social system and (2) of the applications of diffusion theory to corporate, health, educational, social change, and policy contexts. A mix of self-study, group discussions, creative activities, guest speakers, in-class workshops, and case studies will be used to engage with class material. While delving into the theoretical underpinnings of the diffusion of innovations framework, the course will consciously promote a strategic, applied, orientation. It is unlikely that we will rehash all the readings in class; rather, the class sessions will build on the foundational base of readings done at home. In reading, we suggest focusing on the “big” picture, the key “driving” ideas, including the generous collection of stories and boxed case illustrations. For this course, reading and reflecting between the lines in not just OK, it is strongly encouraged.
