Abstract
This paper explores selected theoretical tenets of innovation diffusion/adoption in the context of product technology and product marketing. The approach discusses the need to integrate the underpinnings of demand-supply diffusion strategies and ecological variation factors in technological research. The introduction of tilapia as the topic of study provides a suitable model for ex post facto examination of the process of advancing technological innovation in under-developed settings. Data collected in a recent survey of trial tilapia consumers provides some possible predictive indicators for market assessments, consumer adoption studies and posits some relative issues of strengths and weaknesses for research design considerations. In sum, consumer adoption behaviors tend to depend on adequacy of the new product to substitute for both supply and demand situational requirements plus socioecological conditons. ----- Esta' presentacion, explora reglas teoricas selectas sobre la adopcidn y difusidn innovativa en 10 que se refiere a la tecnologia y rnercadeo de productos, Se discute la necesidad de, integrar la base de la oferta y dernauda de las extrategias de difusi6n y de Los factores de variacidn ecol6gicos, en "I campo de la investigacicn technologica. La introduccion del pescado, Tilapia, como eL t6pico de estudio, ofrece un modele adecuado para Ilevar a cabo indagaciones subsecuentes del proceso de innovaciones tecnicas avanzadas, cuando se las encuentra en situaciones de subdesarro110. Datos recolectados en una resefia de prueba, reciente, de los consumidores de la Tilapia, ofrecen algunas predicciones para, asesorar el mercado, para llevar a cabo estudios los cuates indiquen la aceptacidu que el consurnidor rnuestre hacia el producto y, postuLan algunos puntos relatives de hIS veutajas y desveutajas que se encuentren, para asi considerar, dlseiios de investigacidn, En total, se deduce que la aceptacion y preferencias del cousumidor dependen de la calidad del producto y de las condiciones socio-ecologicas y, para que asi, exsista una situaciou de oferta y domanda.
