Abstract: Information system outputs and user needs vary with the phases of the innovation decision‐making process as defined by Rogers and Shoemaker: awareness/knowledge, attitude formation/persuasion, trial/decision, confirmation. Within each phase, products and user needs can be defined as the parameters of user characteristics, subject content, packaging characteristics, and marketing techniques. In this article we apply this information/requirement/product definition technique to environmental pollution control technology to show how a range of information outputs and services needs to be developed to satisfy various requirements. This technique could be applied to virtually any applications area.
