This paper deals with the choice of dynamics in spatial simulation and modelling. In economical context, N agents choose between two technological standards according to a local assignment rule. The adoption dynamics is sequential if the choices are made one after the other; it is synchronous or partially synchronous if all or some part of the agents choose simultaneously. This paper points out differences among the three dynamics, especially in their evolution and limit configurations.
