Abstract
- This article provides insights into consumer behavior, and the results have important implications for designers, managers, marketers, and system providers of 3G value-added services to explore a conceptual model for analyzing customers’ perceptions of using 3G value-added services. An empirical investigation was carried out to test the hypotheses. The samples include 826 professional participants. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to test the relationships of the model. After reviewing the previous research papers, a conceptual model of customer adoption is developed and nine important factors are proposed, namely, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived security, perceived price, use experience, perceived enjoyment, need for uniqueness, social influence, context and compatibility. Then a big sample of questionnaire investigation in Chinese 3G value-added service market is conducted. The empirical findings are as follows: (a) security and social influence are two of the most important factors in 3G market; (b) 3G value-added services must be enjoyable and useful; (c) using context should be friendly and compatible. The results not only help to develop a sophisticated understanding of 3G adoption theories for researchers but also offer useful knowledge to those involved in promoting 3G value-added services to potential purchasers.
