This workshop will look at the way products, services and technologies make their way (diffuse) into everyday use. This course looks at solving problems using technology, often in innovative ways that may or may not be accepted into the marketplace. Why did it take so long for Bluetooth® to be accepted into the market? How can we get the marketplace to accept our new products, services and innovations more readily?
