evidence of diffusion acceleration is rather scant, and the methodology used in previous studies has several weaknesses. Also …, little is known about why such acceleration would have occurred. This study investigates changes in diffusion speed in the … diffusion speed as the time it takes to go from one penetration level to a higher level, and it measures speed using the slope …

A four segment trial-repeat model is developed to model sales of a frequently purchased product in the early stage of the product's life cycle. The model can be calibrated using aggregate data alone. Two versions of the model, one emphasizing the competitive aspect of marketing communications...

Influential forecasts occur when the forecast itself determines whether the forecast is tested. New product sales forecasts are often influential because a low forecast may cause a firm not to launch a new product so that actual sales are never observed. This paper considers a dilemma we face as...

We evaluate whether stock prices can predict the sales takeoff and the long-term survival of firms at takeoff. We find that abnormal returns are strongly positive in the year prior to takeoff, thus suggesting an important signal of the takeoff. Moreover, we find that negative abnormal returns in...
