This study aims to examine the effects of consumption values on digital convergence products buying behavior. Especially, this study examines the nature of consumption values that differentiate incremental innovation products from radical innovation product. We first categorize the convergence products into incremental innovation products and radical innovation products based on the degree of innovation, and then study the differences of consumption values of each product group. The empirical research is conducted on the premise that the consumer's value can play an important role in the process of selecting convergence product types. Although some factors related to function value has been accounted much of, various consumer values have not been studied in the context of convergence product consumption behavior. This research assumes that consumer choice behavior is a function of multiple consumption values such as functional value, social value, emotional value, and epistemic value. The result shows that consumption values of digital convergence products are made up of 4 consumption values-emotional, epistemic, social and functional values. Also, these consumption values affect the purchase intention of consumers. Purchase intention of radical innovation convergence products is affected by emotional value, epistemic value, and functional values. Purchase intention of incremental innovation convergence products is affected only by functional value. Demographic variables such as sex, age and income don't have influence on purchase intention. Our findings suggest that choice behavior of digital convergence product is influenced by several consumption values. Managerially, our result emphasize that convergence products must satisfy the consumption values that consumers are seeking in order to be successful in the market. the theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed as well.

The aim of this study is to test the behavioral acceptance of adopting smart-media for special education teachers on the points of personal innovativeness and social influence with structural equation modeling(SEM). The corelation of factors such as personal innovativeness, social influence, performance expectancy and behavioral intention are significant. The results of SEM analysis show that the direct impact of social influence on performance expectancy and behavioral intention is significant. The indirect impact of social influence toward behavioral intention through performance expectancy is also significant. However, the personal innovativeness is not statistically significant factor affecting performance expectancy and behavioral intention.

This study empirically analyzed the factors affecting the intention to utilize manufacturing AI in SM-sized manufacturers by applying the TOE framework. Independent variables that are expected to influence were applied, focusing on TOE factors and managerial characteristics that reflect the characteristics of SME manufacturers. In addition, the mediating effect of technology trust and the moderating effect of factory location were analyzed. The results are as follows. First, the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable was tested, and the direct effects of the independent variables(complexity, organizational innovation, IT ability, competitive pressure, partner support, and managerial innovation) on the dependent variable were all statistically significant, except for compatibility. Second, the mediation effect of technology trustness was verified to have a full mediation effect between compatibility and utilization intention, and a partial mediation effect between managerial innovation and utilization intention. Third, among the seven independent variables, the moderating effect of factory location(metropolitan and non-metro) between the three independent variables of IT ability, competitive pressure, and partner support and the utilization intention was found to be significant. To increase the intention to utilize manufacturing AI for SM-sized manufacturers, it is recommended that more diverse and broader studies are needed, not only the factors identified in this study, but also the understanding and awareness of manufacturing AI.

The technology of mobile healthcare is steadily growing, but acceptance of consumers is sluggish. Various studies related to mobile healthcare have been conducted, but studies on the characteristics of prisoners are lacking. Therefore, in this study, we examined the effect of diffusion factors of mobile health care on the intention to use, and examined the moderating effect of innovation propensity. The results show that the relative advantage, compatibility, observability, and usefulness of mobile health care affect the intention to use. In addition, the innovation propensity has a moderating effect on the influence of complexity, trialability, and usafulness on intention to use. This study suggests that the use of the concept of innovation propensity has been confirmed as a major control variable in the relationship between innovation diffusion factors and utilization intention. In addition, it suggests that consumers' innovation tendency is a factor to be taken into consideration for suppliers of mobile healthcare.

With the progress of the 4th industrial revolution, interest in smart factories is increasing. The government is implementing a smart factory support project for small and medium-sized manufacturing companies. Therefore, in this study, factors influencing small and medium-sized enterprises(SME's) intention of smart factory acceptance were analyzed. In particular, it focused on how the perception of government support affects intention of smart factory acceptance. For the empirical analysis, a research model was established by reflecting the characteristics of SMEs and the technical factors of the smart factory centering on the technology acceptance theory. Based on the model set in this way, a questionnaire survey was conducted for employees of SMEs. In this study, a total of 231 samples of valid data were used for analysis. The empirical analysis results are as follows. It was analyzed that performance expectancy, social influence, technology utilization capability, CEO will, and employee resistance to innovation, all introduced as research variables, had a significant effect on the use intention of smart factory acceptance. In particular, it was found that employees' resistance to innovation had a negative (-) effect on their use intention. Meanwhile, to analyze the moderating effect of government support, it was divided into a group with high expectations for government support and a group with low expectations. As a result, it was found that there was a difference in the effect of CEO's will, employees' resistance to innovation, and social influence on the use intention. On the other hand, no significant difference was found in the relationship between performance expectancy, technology utilization capability on the use intention. Based on the empirical analysis results, the academic and practical implications of this study were presented.

This study aimed to provide implications required to establish a content strategy by examining the influencing factors affecting the acceptance of curation services for 320 OTT users, and the main results are as follows. First, innovativeness was found to have a positive effect on performance expectations. Second, innovativeness was found to have a positive impact on the effort expectation. Third, performance expectation had a positive effect on the intention to use continuously. Fourth, it was shown that the effort expectation had a positive effect on the intention to use continuously. Fifth, social influence was found to have no significant effect on the intention to use continuously. Sixth, it was found that the facilitating conditions did not significantly affect the intention to use continuously. The above results can be assessed as the higher the OTT users perceive the performance and effort expectations of the curation service, the higher their intention to continue using them. This study is meaningful in that it verified the factors affecting the intention to use the OTT curation service and expanded the UTAUT model.
