This study is to examine constructs influencing the acceptance of SMEs for VSPs and the efficiency of VSPs, based on the two theories theory of reasoned action (TRA) and technology acceptance model (TAM) in the context of venture support program in Korea. This study concentrates on the government's venture support policy (VSP), namely the examination of the efficiency of current government VSPs in terms of preferential treatment for SMEs experiencing many other venture support programs (the EXP policy), and the reduction of documents/processes related to venture support programs for SMEs so that they are easily accessible and implementable (the EASE policy). Additionally, this paper will suggest an effective way to encourage SMEs to succeed by analyzing the fundamental reasons for their acceptance of VSPs to attain their long-term goals.

The purpose of the study is to propose the plans promoting IS acceptances under the circumstances where the IS usage is semi-mandatory. Since the IS usage is critical to secure the organization's competitiveness, many researchers have endeavored to investigate the factors in promoting IS acceptance. While TAM(Technology Acceptance Model) has been generally applied under the voluntary circumstance, under the mandatory circumstance did many researchers come to realized the limit of applying the TAM on IS acceptance. This resulted in various research trials to identify the IS acceptance under the mandatory circumstance. However, no research to promoting IS acceptance under the recommend circumstance where the corresponding users are recommend to the IS rather than alternative systems exits. The study applied the concept of switching costs to the research model, identified users' acceptance variations, and finally proposed the promotion plans for IS acceptance. The findings illustrate that IS dependence levels tend to be increased when both user satisfactions from a psychological perspective and monetary benefits from an economic perspective make the switching costs higher. The study stresses that organizations should provide information systems which reduce users' time, costs, and endeavors in performing their tasks, rather than require to use them by compulsion.

기술발전에 따른 혁신제품 및 서비스에 대한 연구는 유용성과 편의성을 중심으로 그 수용 및 저항을 서로 다른 관점에서 보아왔다. 그러나 소비자 혹은 사용자들이 느끼는 혁신제품 및 서비스에 대한 태도와 평가는 수용하려는 측면과 저항하려는 측면이 동시에 작용하며 그 결과로서 사용의도 혹은 구매의도가 결정된다고 볼 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 혁신제품 혹은 서비스가 갖는 다양한 속성을 기술수용모형(TAM: Technology Acceptance Model) 에서의 지각된 유용성(Perceived Usefulness) 과 지각된 편의성 (Perceived Ease of Use) 개념을 사용자 지각에 기초하여 상대적 이점, 유용성, 편의성, 기술혁신성, 사용법의 변화 인식, 위험지각 등으로 구체화하고 각각의 개념이 수용적 태도와 저항에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 아울러 수용적 태도와 저항이 사용의도에 미치는 영향력을 동시에 분석 및 비교하였다. 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 중심으로 혁신제품에 대한 소비자 중심의 관리적 시사점도 제시하였다.

In a few years, a variety of mobile devices are expected to be utilized as a necessity for business as well as personal communications. Thus it is needed to conduct a comprehensive study on the acceptance of mobile devices in the mature market like Korea. This paper develops an extended technology acceptance model by including functional attributes of cellular phone and examines the determinant factors causing accepting cellular phones. Our empirical analysis through the internet survey shows that 1) among the determinant factors, perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment or fun, and social pressure have positive direct impacts on the intention of accepting cellular phone, and 2) functional attributes of cellular phone affect the determinant factors differently.

The purposes of this study are in threefold; to explain the interactivity in web site, to extend the Technology Acceptance Model(TAM) in the WWW context, and to examine its relationship with the existing TAM components. We proposed that the WWW is not just web systems but interactive spaces for virtual community. Web interactivity is represented by the two constructs: system interactivity and social interactivity. We extended and empirically examined the TAM for the web context. An individual's attitude toward the use of the web site is significantly affected by the individual's perception about ease of use, usefulness, and system interactivity. At the same time, behavioral intentions to use the web site is highly related to the social interactivity. The results showed that the system interactivity and social interactivity of a web site are important factors in affecting the user's beliefs and behavior intention of such a web site, So web page providers not only have to make the web site useful and easy to use, but also need to design an interactive web page by putting both systemic aspects and social aspects.

B2C EC has two kinds of perspectives such as technology-oriented and trust-oriented perspectives. As lots of fraud damages on the B2C EC have been reported every day, the trust-oriented perspective receives lots of attention. In this study, an integrative typology for developing and validating trust measures for B2C EC proposed by McKnight et al.(2002a) and McKnight and Chevany(2002b) has been used for trust-oriented perspective, and the TAM(technology acceptance model) model proposed by Fred Davis in 1985 has been used for technology-oriented perspective. An research model had been developed by using the 4 factors of an integrative typology and 5 factors of the TAM model such as perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, trust beliefs, intention, and actual transaction. All 13 hypotheses had been proposed from this research model and tested by field study. 12 hypotheses, including the 4 f actors of an integrative typology as antecedents on trust beliefs, were significant, whereas the hypothesis 5 on the relationship between structural assurance and perceived ease of use was insignificant. Structures on B2C EC like guarantees, regulations, promises, legal recourse, or other procedures seemed to be difficult to B2C EC customers. Therefore, these structures should be developed more easier to B2C EC customers.

This research verified that how Health-Consciousness and Enjoyment can have influence on the Technology Acceptance Model(TAM) using Structural Equation Model(SEM) to suggest a Tangible Fitness Game(TFG) acceptance model. First of all, perceived usefulness and ease of use, the core factors of TAM could influence on the intention to use TFG, so the applicability of TAM was confirmed in the context of using TFG. Health-consciousness, defined as some beliefs and interests on the importance of health, was found to have an positive effect on perceived usefulness and have an influence on the intention to use TFG. Enjoyment also influenced on the intention to use through usefulness and ease of use. This research contributes to make elaborate theoretical accounts by verifying some factors influencing on the intention to use TFG using Extended Technology Acceptance Model.
