Several aspects explained by these models like time taken to accept the technology, demographic as well socio-economic characteristics of adopters, role of communication and rate of adoption has been elaborated which played a crucial role in the adoption and diffusion process of innovation. The Research and practical implications of these models have also been discussed.
