Beginning in the 1970s, academia began to study consumer innovation and used it as an important indicator for predicting consumers’ new product adoption behavior. This article makes a more comprehensive summary and evaluation of the definition of consumer innovation from three aspects (innate innovativeness; special fields innovativeness; actualized innovativeness), summarizes the relationship between the three innovations, and builds a consumer innovation integration model.

Abstract--The study explores how consumers react differently when companies introduce new products. The study focus on the hedonic consumption as an approach for consumer behavior. It examines the demographic and psychographic characteristics that illustrate consumer hedonic consumption. The study employs VALS framework to understand consumer reaction and propensity to innovation and  adopts Rogers' five steps framework (1) to clarify consumer adoption to innovation. The statistical sample consists of 420 UAE consumers  drawn randomly from the market and universities and colleges. The results indicate that some demographic and psychographic characteristics have significant relationship with consumer hedonic consumption and new product adoption.

Consumer innovativeness is an important driver of economic progress and a country’s position in global competition. This study aims to examine the moderating effect of demographic factors of Indonesian consumers on the impact of consumer innovativeness on perceived risk and new product adoption. The type of research chosen is a causal comparative study by using online and offline survey methods. Data were obtained from a sample of 1,000 consumers from 31 provinces. The results showed that the demographic variable became a moderating variable for the impact of consumer innovativeness on new product adoption, but did not play a role in the influence of consumer innovativeness on credit-purchase risk perception. With regard to the influence of consumer innovativeness on credit-purchase risk perception, only social class has a significant effect as a moderating variable. As for the effect of consumer innovativeness on a new product adoption, the variables of marital status, occupation, income, and social class have significant effects. The social class variable consistently becomes a moderating one in both equations. The results of this study are useful for marketers to focus more specifically on their target markets, especially on the diffusion of new product innovations based on demographic characteristics.
