The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that influence consumers' adoption of performance infants' wear made of functional textiles. Based on Innovation Diffusion Model, product attributes, consumer traits, and communication characteristics were considered. A survey was carried out with a convenience sample of 241 housewives who have infants under 4 year-old, living in the Seoul metropolitan area. To analyze the data, SPSS 10.0 was used employing ANOVA, Duncan's post-hoc comparison, $X^2$, and f-test. The participants were classified into 4 groups based on their levels of adoption of performance infants' wear: No-Cognition, Negative Attitude, Positive Attitude, and Purchasing groups. There were significant differences among the four groups in terms of their perception of product attributes, communication characteristics, and personal traits. In terms of product attributes, the Positive Attitude group and Purchasing group showed higher perception of relative advantage, compatibility, trialability and observability than other groups. These groups were also high in terms of their tendency of actively seeking for additional product information, and particularly relied on the information from experts on TV or the Internet, personal experience posted on the Internet, or their own experience. Those who were in professional, well-educated and high income brackets were more likely to be Purchasing group than Positive Attitude group, which means once the positive attitude was formed they are likely to purchase the product.

As the next generation of smartphone and tablet computers, wearable devices are currently being developed and available in market in various forms. Smart clothing is a wearable device that holds the greatest potential for future development but low in market penetration. This study was designed to identify factors that influence adoption and diffusion of smart clothing. In-depth interviews with potential consumers who were knowledgeable about and interested in smart clothing were conducted. A semantic network analysis method was used. The results showed that consumers perceived smart clothing as a garment rather than as a type of wearable device and had a positive perception of smart apparel as more convenient and advanced than functional apparel. At the same time, however, consumers had a negative perception of smart clothing as unnecessary, ugly, and injurious to health. Consumers also worried that wearing smart apparel over long periods of time would negatively impact their health. Factors affecting resistance to smart apparel included low utility, perceived risk, and lack of aesthetic completeness. Usefulness and convenience were factors that affected the acceptance of smart clothing. The innovativeness of the product was more influential than consumer innovativeness in the process of adoption and diffusion of smart clothing.

When the historical data are available, the diffusion model, which describes the time pattern of the adoption process of a new product or technology or service, has been used as a reasonable predictor in the telecommunication demand forecasting area. This paper shows that the diffusion model is applicable when the historical data are not available. The model used is in the form of a "logistic" function. The parameters of the function are estimated using the questionnaire and the historical data of reference products. From the questionnaire, an initial and an upper limit long run value of the market share are estimated, and the diffusion time to the upper limit value is determined by the relation between the investment and the utility.

Recently, with the diffusion of a new paradigm named as the creative economy, the government's interests and efforts regarding support of SMEs' R&D have been concentrated. In particular, due to the dominant perception that the fundamental science and original technology from government-funded research institutes can further enhance the capabilities of SMEs' R&D, the importance of performance's diffusion on national R&D is further emphasized. In fact, the domestic SMEs don't have enough budget and workforce, so that all of self-contained technologies, product's competitiveness as well as the R&D capabilities, are very vulnerable, and thereby SMEs' commercialization is very likely to fail. For this end, SMEs need to adopt the concept of open innovation as the use of external R&D resources by licensing. In this study, we conducted a survey on a total of 286 domestic IT SMEs, and analyzed empirically to compare the degree of their acceptance on technological innovation between two groups divided by open/not-open innovation. As a result, we drew some of the key factors influencing the acceptance of the SMEs' open technological innovation, and found a variety of implications through them.

Today, change in the information technology field is very fast, the innovative technology or product to be released for the other sectors tend more frequent. In this situation, most of potential users should think carefully about the adoption of innovative technology such as Web2.0. On the other hand, the adoption or acceptance of innovative technology has the paradox of technology. In order to verify the acceptance factors of innovative technology, we are proposed the model based on the DOI and MIR. Conceptually, we examine the four independent variables such as relative benefit, compatibility, complexity, risk that are divided into two parts as positive and negative, a moderating variable effect on independent variables that is the social influence, and their impacts on the acceptance of new technology. The questionnaire which consists of 100 questions was used to analyze the result to IT suppliers and customers in public sector. Finally, our research model was tested in an empirical study, which confirmed all of our hypotheses.

이 논문에서는 가구차원의 DTV 구매의향과 구매시기 결정요인이 시간이 지남에 따라 어떻게 변하는지 밝히고자 하였다. 기존 연구에서는 가구 세대주의 학력이 높고, 가구소득이 높으며 통신 및 방송, 인터넷 등 정보통신 여러 부문에 대한 수용도가 높은 가구가 구매의향이 높은 것으로 나타난 반면, 이 연구에서는 최근들어 가격인하 등에 따라 소비자들의 구매의향은 더 강해지고 구매 예정시기는 점점 앞당겨지는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, DTV는 시간이 지남에 따라 보다 필수재에 가까운 성격을 띠는 재화로 그 성격이 변하고 있어 향후 DTV구매에 인구특성이나 디지털 방송 전환시기에 대한 인지 여부는 점차 구매결정에 영향을 미치지 못하게 될 것이라고 예상할 수 있다.

The EPCglobal Network is a computer network used to share product data among trading partners. It provides the supply chain with improved visibility and traceability by using Electronic Product Code (EPC), which is stored on an RFID tag. Although this network model is widely accepted as a global standard and the growth of EPCglobal-subscriber base is considerable, the EPC technology adoption process is still in its infancy. This is because some of the critical issues on this model still remain to be verified such as scalability, data management, security, privacy and the economic value of data sharing. In this paper, we focus on scalability issue among the challenges to overcome and we regard performance of the EPCglobal Network only as a track and trace query-processing cost in the network. We developed performance models consisting of three elements of the EPCglobal Network : Discovery Services (DS), EPC Information Services (EPCIS), Object Naming Services (ONS). Then we abstracted out the track and trace query execution model to evaluate performance of the overall EPCglobal Network. Finally using the proposed models, we carried out simulation analysis based on an RFID-based inbound logistics process of automobile parts. This work is an important step towards the EPC technology diffusion and provides guidelines for businesses looking to buy or build the EPCglobal Network-based systems.

본 연구는 컨버전스 제품의 대표격인 스마트폰을 대상으로 해당 스마트폰에서 광고의 양, 하드웨어 다양성, 소프트웨어의 다양성 등이 스마트폰에 대한 유용성 지각과 복잡성 지각에 동시에 영향을 줄 수 있고 복잡성은 기능적 피로에 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 검증하려고 하였다. 먼저, 소비자가 모바일 광고를 과다하다고 느낄수록 스마트폰의 유용성을 낮추고 복잡성을 높인다는 것은 검증되지 못하였지만 하드웨어의 다양성은 유용성을 높이고 복잡성을 높게 지각하게 만들 것이라는 가설은 강하게 지지되었다. 몇번 논의되었듯이 컨버전스의 가장 기본은 상당히 많은 하드웨어의 통합이다. 결국, 많은 하드웨어는 스마트폰의 효용가치를 높이는 중요한 원인이 되기도 하지만 동시에 복잡성을 높여 소비자에게 스마트폰을 이용하는데서 피로를 유발하는 원인으로 작용할 수도 있다는 결론이다. 소프트웨어의 다양성은 유용성을 높게 지각하게 만드는 요소이기는 하나 복잡성에는 별다른 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 유용한 모바일 앱을 많이 제공하는 것은 역시 하나의 매력적인 요소로 작용할 수 있다고 결론지었다. 마지막으로 복잡성은 기능적 피로를 높게 지각하는데 영향을 미치는 중요한 요인으로 밝혀졌으며 결국, 이는 무조건 많다고 좋은 것이 아니라 최적의 컨버전스 조합을 찾는 것이 바람직하다는 시사점을 제시할 수 있다.
