This study also investigated some significant differences in the relative influence of the determinants of BI toward MDS depending on experience. The extended TAM was empirically evaluated by using survey data collected from 149 inexperienced users and 393 experienced users. The findings indicated that PFE is the strongest determinant of BI toward MDS, and the antecedents leading to users' BI vary over time.
