As little has been developed to understand country-level analysis and a theme such as innovation, this research sought to fill this gap.</p> <p><strong>Originality/Value</strong>: This research demonstrates how it is possible to use Search Trends to analyze the diffusion of a thematic, enabling the extension of the diffusion of innovation theory beyond the sale of products.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>: Google Trends was used for data collection and to provide up-to-date information, and two different statistical models were used: clustering to identify patterns in the first analysis, and the Bass diffusion model, aiming at comparing countries considering the curve peak, the innovation coefficient, and the imitation coefficient.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: The findings of this research identified that China has the highest innovation coefficient among the members of the BRICS and Japan among the members of the OECD.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: This study brought both a theoretical contribution, allowing the expansion of the diffusion of innovations that use a theme as an object of innovation, as well as a practical implication, enabling research in an accessible and democratic way.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Future Studies Research Journal: Trends and Strategies}, author={Takahashi, Carlos Kazunari and Figueiredo, Júlio César Bastos de and Favaretto , José Eduardo Ricciardi}, year={2023}, month={Mar.}, pages={e0695} }
