Rich and attractive mobile services have been developed as result of technological advances and emergent mobile business models. Product launching has been improved through packaging and orchestration of services components using service composition techniques. The design of charging systems, which can explore partner information, is a strong enabler for mobile composite services ecosystems. The authors...
The Internet of things(IoT) is considered to be the next step in the revolution of internet, the combination of the Internet and emerging technologies such as nearfield communications, real-time localization, and embedded sensors,which lets us transform everyday objects into smart objects that can understand and react to their environment.With an increasing diversity of RFID devices integrated in...
Whether or not mobile Internet services add value depends on the context and objective in which they are used. In this paper, we examine whether consumer attitudes towards the added value of mobile services in specific contexts has a positive impact on their general intention to adopt mobile Internet services, by analyzing the results of a large-scale consumer survey. The results indicate that context-of-use...
This paper proposes an integrated conceptual model for analyzing user adoption behaviors towards mobile marketing platforms from a two-sided market perspective. Both the consumer side and the merchant side are modeled based on extending classical theories with newly introduced factors reflecting cross network effects, and the two sides are integrated in the overall model which reveals the dynamic...
Technology diffusion theory is mainly focused on technology adoption, while prerequisites to such adoption are largely disregarded or taken for granted. The study argues that the in-depth analysis of what comes prior to adoption and use of technology – what we define “technology activation” – is equally important, so as to spot industry-specific characteristics that enable or hinder a value proposition...
With the good customer foundation and increasing revenue, m-commerce is on the growing development stage. Although there are many literatures about the factors affecting customer intention in internet-based e-commerce contexts, it is necessary to do an empirical validation in m-commerce contexts. Factors of trust and social influence integrated to TAM were used in the conceptual model. Empirical data...
Mobile data services (MDS) have been attracting increasing scholarly attention in recent years. In this paper, a cross-disciplinary model, established with established critical factors derived from traditional information systems models and the means-end chain approach, is used to explore what affects customers' willingness to pay for MDS. In addition, the hybrid framework highlights the multiple...
A mobile monitoring system for ambulant patients typically monitors bio-signals of a patient, processes and distributes these signals to formal caregivers. Often the monitoring service is long lasting, ranging from hours, days, to even months. The tasks involved in this end-to-end service are distributed over a networked ICT infrastructure and an optimal assignment may be found using task assignment...
Users may use a mobile service in various contexts. It is critical to study how users' perceptions and intentions are affected by context. We discuss the definition and structure of context, then propose a contextual acceptance model of mobile commerce based on TAM. We apply this model to the case of a GPS-based taxi-dispatching system. Preliminary data analysis illustrates that context has significant...
