Durchsetzung vs Einführung

introduction / implementation / insertion

'die Einführung' and 'die Durchsetzung' can both have to do with new rules, ideas, or technologies. 'Einführung' describes the step in which something new officially begins or is put into use. 'Durchsetzung' describes something actually being implemented, often against resistance, or successfully spreading and becoming established. The words can be confused because both can be part of a process of change. In practical terms: first often comes the Einführung, and after that the new rule or idea still has to establish itself.

Visual example for Einführung

Die Durchsetzung der neuen Regeln ist schwierig, weil viele Mitarbeiter dagegen sind.
