High-tech and related products such as internet services are emerging as a major source of profit for modem companies. Although this trend makes high-tech marketers have more interest in the characteristics of innovating consumers, little is known about their behavior. Especially, little is known about how the characteristics of innovators' consideration sets differ from those of non-innovators' consideration sets.
This study explore how the consideration set of innovators differ from that of non-innovators in terms of shape. Specifically, we develop and empirically test on difference of innovator vs. non-innovator with respect to size and composition of consideration set. Through this analysis we provide a clue to the study of considering behavior of innovators, and help high-tech marketers increase consideration rate of their brands.
