q1 · i? · review · r2
The digest reports, citing Rogers (1995), that "change is a specialized instance of the general communication model," and that Ellsworth expands this notion into a framework making the literature more accessible to practitioners. This is the digest's attributed account, not a tested result.
"Everett Rogers, one of the "elder statesmen" of change research, notes that change is a specialized instance of the general communication model (Rogers, 1995, pp. 5-6). Ellsworth expands on this notion to create a framework that organizes these perspectives to make the literature more accessible to the practitioner"
