This paper focuses on whether differences in structural conditions, as embodied in the distribution of built-in preferences of agents towards an innovation, in conjunction with interdependencies in their adoption decisions, 'systematically' and 'predictably' translate into differential rates of technological diffusion across societies, and over time. This important, but scarcely addressed issue is analysed within an evolutionary-disequilibrium framework and in terms of a threshold model of collective behaviour.
