A Model of 3G Adoption
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we develop a model of end users’ 3G adoption behavior based on the premise that 3G is not an entirely new innovation but rather an upgrade of mobile data services (MDS). Drawing theoretical foundations from the knowledge transfer paradigm in marketing research and based on the technological architecture of MDS, we hypothesize how beliefs about upgrading benefits and costs are formed and how they will influence 3G adoption intention. The empirical results support our hypotheses, based on which theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.
