N2 - Understanding the economical impact of a technology’s diffusion rate can assist decision makers in making informed decisions on how resources (labor, equipment/materials, time, and capital) are managed. The goal of this research is to demonstrate a link between a technology’s diffusion rate and its value (economic impact) to warrant further examination of its impact on abandonment. An overview of the technology diffusion curve is presented, and three diffusion rates (categorized as fast, medium, and slow) are modeled to demonstrate the impact on a technology’s value along a technology’s diffusion curve. Results show a link between diffusion rate and market value for a technology’s diffusion curves.
