There are five characteristics of an innovation that can assist in determining the rate of acceptance or resistance of the market to a product. A product's (1) relative advantage (the perceived marginal value of the new product relative to the old), (2) compatibility (its compatibility with acceptable behavior, norms, values, and so forth), (3) complexity (the degree of complexity associated with product use), (4) trialability (the degree of economic and/or social risk associated with product use), and (5) observability (the ease with which the product benefits can be communicated) affect the degree of its acceptance or resistance.
