This PPT slide, part of the 46-slide Psychology of Product Adoption PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured comparison of recent innovations, highlighting the trade-offs consumers face when adopting new technologies or services. It categorizes each innovation into 2 columns: "What you give up" and "What you get." This format effectively illustrates the dual nature of innovation, where benefits often come at a cost.

For instance, the entry for DVR/TiVo indicates that users sacrifice the ability to play rentals in exchange for the convenience of easy recording. Similarly, electric cars require consumers to give up easy refueling, but offer environmental benefits. The online grocery section shows that while users lose the ability to select the freshest items in-store, they gain the convenience of home delivery.

The slide also addresses various sectors, including entertainment, healthcare, and energy. Video rentals by mail trade spontaneity for increased selection, while new drugs present a lower cost at the expense of fewer side effects. Satellite radio offers free music, but enhances selection quality. In healthcare, new medical procedures improve outcomes, but may compromise comfort during the procedure. Wind energy exemplifies a shift from unobstructed views to clean, renewable energy sources.

This analysis emphasizes the importance of understanding consumer psychology in product adoption. It suggests that businesses must clearly communicate both the sacrifices and benefits associated with their innovations. By doing so, they can better align their offerings with consumer expectations and enhance the likelihood of successful adoption.
