Over the past ten years, numerous industries have undergone upheavals that have significantly altered how businesses interact with their clients and how goods are created and produced bySMEs. Many cutting-edge technologies have recently been created and implemented to enhance business models, facilitate sustainability features for organizations, and boost business capabilities. This essay seeks to understand how digital entrepreneurship functions in developing nations. The results of this study show the effectiveness of digital transformation in the context of SMEs is greatly influenced by aspects including the change of managerial intensity and the involvement and perception of workers, customers, and shareholders. One of the needs that business owners showcased in this study in terms of digitization is infrastructure resources to support digitization such as devices, the Internet, and funds, but also the ability to use digital media for business development. Practical skills that business people want to learn such as product design and management of their social media accounts. There are also aspects of time and self-motivation of the business actor that can speed up or slow down the digitization process. Finally, government support that is structured in encouraging MSMEs is also one of the supporters and drivers of digitalization in the blue economy.

This study examines the adoption of subscription-based video on demand (SVOD) streaming services among consumers. Primarily, we explore the moderating effect of the two models of streaming services, standalone streaming services and bundled streaming services, on the users' adoption. We employ the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) model in this study. We utilize the data collected from 337 Indian respondents and find that all constructs of the UTAUT2 model act as motivators of adoption. Gender, age, and experience of the respondent also play a moderating role in the adoption of streaming services. We also find that providing bundled streaming service positively moderates price-value and hedonic motivation of adoption. The study is perhaps the first of its kind that aims to understand the motivations for adoption of SVOD services, particularly in the Indian context, which has the fastest-growing base of internet users in the world.

Purpose - The potential use of cryptocurrencies in a retail environment proposes a rapid shift from the traditional financial system. Nakamoto(2008) defines Bitcoin as an open source alt-coin based on the blockchain technology. Luther(2016) insists that the new technology will be widely adopted for the digital payment processes. However, the use of Bitcoin is in the real world is still sparse. Despite the growing attention and purported benefits, it is doubtful whether the Bitcoin will be eagerly accepted by ordinary consumers in the mainstream market. To answer this question, this paper develops a causal model that has a dual path to explain the motivation to adopt Bitcoin. According to Glaser, Zimmermann, Haferkorn, Weber, and Siering(2014), Bitcoin is both an asset and a currency at the same time. In summary, the attitude towards Bitcoin may vary depending on whether the fin-tech product is viewed as an asset or as a currency. Based on the arguments, we propose that asset attitude and currency attitude will give influence to consumers' intention to adopt Bitcoin. Research design, data, and methodology - Quantitative data collection is conducted from a Bitcoin SIG(special interest group) working in an internet community. As a result, 192 respondents who know Bitcoin completed the survey. To analyze the causal relations in the research model, PLS-SEM(partial least squares structural equation modeling) method is used. Also, reliability and validity of measures are tested by performing Cronbach's alpha test, Fornell-Larcker test and confirmatory factor test. Results - Our test results show that every hypothesis is supported except the influence of perceived ease of use. In addition, we find that the relationships between constructs are different between the high innovative group and low innovative group. Conclusions - We provide evidence that asset attitude and currency attitude are key antecedents of Bitcoin adoption.

본 연구는 VR-AR 체험(Experiential Uses) 행위과정에 나타난 가치단계 요인을 분석(속성, 기능적 혜택, 심리적 혜택, 사용가치), 이용자의 체험 과정에 나타난 욕구와 이용행위 간의 '가치단계도(HVM : Hierarchical Value Map)'에 관한 모형을 구성하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 '수단-목적 사슬 이론(means-end chain theory)'를 적용, 개인적 VR-AR 경험에 나타난 가치사슬을 측정하였다. 본 연구문제를 해결하기 위하여 1차로 AR-VR 콘텐츠 적합도 측정과 2차로 APT래더링을 활용한 구조화 된 설문지를 통하여 135명의 자료를 분석하여 VR-AR 관련 미디어 이용 선택의 '속성'- '기능적 혜택'- '심리적 혜택'- '이용 가치'에 이르는 수단-목적 가치사슬 구조를 파악한 후 가치단계도(HVM)로 VR-AR체험 가치 관계를 실증할 수 있었다. 연구결과, VR 이용자들은 새로운 가상현실 시청각 요소를 통해 현실이탈, 체험의 생생함, 유행선도를 통하여 새로운 성취감, 재미와 즐거움을 통하여 사회생활을 원활히 하고자 하였다. AR이 가지는 생생함과 주변 상호작용을 통하여 자아실현, 타인과 상호작용에 가치를 두고 있으며,'주변인'의 영향이 크게 작용하였고 이들과의 상호작용이 중요한 선택 목적이었다. 이용자들의 VR-AR 선택의 중요 가치는 타인과 상호작용 증진이며 성취감, 행복과 우호적인 가치 속성도 중요하게 고려되었다.
