An overview of theories and concepts related to user acceptability of technology are given in this study. The growth of each theory, as well as its most important applications, expansion and limitations are summarised in this paper. In addition it provides a summary of the technological acceptance and adoption model in consumer study. Through this review, future researchers will be better able to conceptualise, identify, and appreciate the underlying technological models and theories that may influence future application of technology adoption.

Abstract

Recent data, observations and research show that the level of congestion at peak hours in Jakarta from mid-2022 to throughout 2023 has matched or even exceeded the level of congestion in 2019, or the time before the COVID-19 pandemic. One discourse to reduce the high level of congestion in DKI is the implementation of a policy to rearrange office hours in DKI and between May 22, 2023 and June 2, 2023 DTKJ conducted an indicative online questionnaire entitled "Survey on Rearrangement of Working Hours in DKI Jakarta" which covered 881 respondents. Based on the results of the indicative questionnaire, DTKJ recommended improvements to the public transport sector to be made by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, primarily by (i) increasing the public transport fleet, especially to operate during peak hours to reduce waiting time for users at public transport stops, terminals and stations, (ii) increasing the level of safety and comfort in the use of public transport, (iii) expanding service coverage areas to increasingly reach residential areas and suburban areas of DKI Jakarta, and (iv) increasing public transport service routes. The questionnaire results show that the majority, or more than 80 percent, of Jakarta transportation users approve of the implementation of rearranging work entry and return hours as a policy to reduce congestion levels, especially at peak hours. However, based on the results of the same online survey, DTJK concluded that the policy of rearranging work hours is not the main or only policy that can be carried out by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government because improvements to the public transportation sector are the main steps that must be taken. In addition, the Jakarta Provincial Government is expected to ensure that the various policies that have been implemented can be enforced in the field and even expanded by continuing to review various policies that have the potential to reduce travel demand.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the phenomena of how artificial intelligence (AI) as one of the cutting-edge technologies benefits restaurant services and what the obstacles to implementing AI in a restaurant are. Due to the rapid pace of life, people tend to have less and less eating time, especially white-collar workers. More and more restaurants implement AI technology to improve their cooking efficiency and reduce service time, such as fast payment systems (QR and facial recognition payment), AI-enabled bots, AI-powered self-ordering kiosks, and robot chefs. Since the COVID-19 pandemic begins in early 2020, food safety and sanitation become increasingly important when people eat outside. Chef and waiter robots are good options for avoiding intimate contact. This study employed qualitative research with in-depth interviews. We interviewed three restaurant managers in China. The findings suggest that adopting AI technology in restaurant services can minimize high costs, better manage customer relationships, and provide more convenient in-store services. This study contributes to the managerial gap in AI restaurants.

Abstract

TikTok represents a new form of marketing communication technology due to its features and attributes. However, despite its ability to share brands’ viral content, scant research has examined TikTok as an advertising vehicle and its implications for viral advertising campaigns. Drawing on the Elaboration Likelihood Model and the concept of self-relevance, the present study explores the impact of perceived personalization and auhenticity of TikTok content on perceived convenience, viral behavioral intentions and purchase intention. The results show that the personalization of TikTok content is negatively related to perceived convenience and authenticity of TikTok content is positively related to perceived convenience. Overall, the results of this study provide new insights and practical implications for both content creator and advertiser sides.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of a manager's international experience on small and medium-sized enterprises' (SMEs) internationalization. Contrary to common beliefs, we challenge the notion that international experience is the primary driver of firm internationalization. Using a research model and empirical data from SME managers, we find that a manager's aggressiveness in international markets plays a pivotal role in determining the degree of internationalization achieved by their SME. Aggressiveness in seeking opportunities emerged as a crucial factor for successful internationalization. Additionally, the manager's perception of risk associated with international expansion significantly impacts their level of aggressiveness. Managers with lower risk perceptions are more inclined to pursue international opportunities assertively. On the other hand, a manager's international experience directly affects their ability to recognize opportunities and develop confidence in international markets, driving aggressive behaviors. These findings challenge conventional assumptions and emphasize the importance of a proactive approach to international expansion. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between a manager's international experience, aggressiveness, and SME internationalization. We encourage future research to further investigate the multifaceted process of international entrepreneurship, offering new perspectives to enhance SME success in global markets.

Abstract

Healthy food is consumed to meet nutritional needs in accordance with health standards in order to increase intelligence and a healthy lifestyle. This study aims to determine the factors that most influence on healthy food buying decisions, from internal factors (age, lifestyle and knowledge) and external factors (product, promotion, price and place). In this research delimitation (restrictions) is carried out so that it is more controlled and relevant to what will be proven. The realization is that the age variable is not included in the factor analysis because it is a characteristic of the respondents, the place variable is also not analyzed because the marketing is done online. This correlational quantitative research uses primary and secondary data collected through interviews, documentation and questionnaires to 68 respondents, namely healthy food consumers. Data processing using the KMO-MSA method and interpretation of factor analysis, the results formed factor 1 (price, lifestyle, knowledge) and factor 2 (product and promotion). The Component Transformation Matrix shows the value of Component 1 and 2 whose correlation value is > 0.5, namely 0.735, it is concluded that the five variables are feasible for analysis. To find out the most influential factor, a multiple logistic regression test was carried out, the result is that the product has an Exp(B) value of 4.797, meaning that consumers have a tendency to buy because of the product 4.797 times. Meanwhile, promotions have an Exp(B) value of 8.991, meaning that consumers have a tendency to buy 8.991 because of promotions carried out by producers.
