    Forecasting of diffusion pattern: A case example of OLED technology
    (2014-01-01) P. Tansurat; N. Gerdsri; Mahidol University
    for technology managers to consider after determining the strategic timing for technology substitution is to know what diffusion pattern of new technology would be. This issue is important as the management of companies can effectively prepare themselves... to be ready for upcoming market opportunity. This paper presents the analysis of the Bass diffusion model to forecast the diffusion pattern of OLED technology in portable devices. The analysis indicates that using p and q value derived from analogous product

    In recent years, dengue has become a major international public health concern. In Thailand it is also an important concern as several dengue outbreaks were reported in last decade. This paper presents a GIS approach to analyze the spatial... and temporal dynamics of dengue epidemics. The major objective of this study was to examine spatial diffusion patterns and hotspot identification for reported dengue cases. Geospatial diffusion pattern of the 2007 dengue outbreak was investigated. Map of daily

    The struggle for digital inclusion: Phones, healthcare, and marginalisation in rural India
    (2018-04-01) Marco J. Haenssgen; University of Oxford, Saïd Business School; Green Templeton College; Mahidol University; Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine
    © 2017 Elsevier Ltd The gains from digital technology diffusion are deemed essential for international development, but they are also distributed unevenly. Does the uneven distribution mean that not everyone benefits from new technologies... to an important yet surprisingly under-researched aspect of the social implications of (mobile) technology diffusion. Inspired by a previous analysis of cross-sectional data from rural India, I hypothesise that health systems increasingly adapt to mobile phone
