Diffusion (business)

Okay, so imagine you have a pack of candies and you want to share them with your friends. But, you want to make sure that each friend gets the same number of candies. So, what do you do?

You can spread out the candies evenly, right? This process of spreading out the candies is called diffusion.

Now, let's apply this idea to a business. Imagine a company made a new product, like a toy car. They want to sell the toy car to as many people as possible. So, how do they do that?

They use diffusion. They spread the word about the new toy car to a lot of people, like in advertisements or on social media. This helps many people know about it and want to buy it.

Just like with the candies, the company wants to make sure that the toy car reaches everyone evenly. So, they might sell the toy car at different stores or have different promotions to make sure that everyone has a fair chance to buy it.

Overall, diffusion in business means spreading information or a product to many people to make sure it reaches as many as possible.
