The Moa Determinants of Innovation Diffusion: a Social Network Analysis

This study examines the roles of consumer motivations, opportunity and abilities (MOA) in determining the interpersonal flows of new product information in a social network. The MOA model includes conspicuous and hedonic consumption motivations, social support response opportunity, and knowledge sharing and communication skill self-efficacy abilities. Through secondary data analysis and email survey, the results exhibit a preliminary tendency of how the new product information flows in a social network are affected by consumers’ motivations, opportunity and abilities.
