The methods currently used in innovation marketing research are focused on the late phases of the innovation process and are usually methodologically complex. This limits their practical impact. The presented thesis aims to create a simple self-report scale applicable in the initial and late phases of innovation process, highly modular and suitable for wide range of research. The main battery of questions was inspired by adopter categorization by Rogers. The questions determine both (1) general characteristics of innovation adopters and (2) their relationship to a specific innovation. The scale was tested during a robust longitudinal online research, thematically focused on users of modern technologies. Representative sample of 4,000 Internet users in the Czech Republic took part in the survey from April 2013 to January 2015. The result is a new self-report scale measuring consumer innovativeness applicable for prototyping, strategic decisions and effective communication of innovations to consumers.
