    Information and communication technology have been developed and widely used nowadays. A good website should be readily accessible to every group of users. General users or users with disability should be able to access and understand the messages in a website equally well. However at the present, many people with visual impairment cannot access a website readily: They cannot search for information, in particular. Specifically, some university students in Thailand have problems accessing a website and understanding its content due to the website was developed by developers and associated personnel that lacked the knowledge and understanding of the principles that affect universal website accessibility and acceptance. This study, therefore, propose a conceptual framework based on the UTAUT theory of website acceptance. In addition to the main variables in the original theory which are applicable only to general users, two more main variables were included in this framework: Perceived convenience and perceived reliability. Two new moderators were added to it as well: web accessibility and vision impairment level. These extra variables and moderators were added in order to incorporate users' intention to use a website and their usage behavior in this framework. This framework would be of value to developers and associated personnel to help them understand the valid website design requirements for university students with visual impairment.

    ;
    The landscape of education is rapidly evolving, driven by the proliferation of digital learning technologies, notably Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). MOOCs offer accessible and flexible learning opportunities globally, while simultaneously, green entrepreneurship has emerged as a critical approach to addressing environmental challenges through sustainable business practices. This study aims to build a tool to test the reliability and validity of the conceptual framework of factors influencing behavioral intention to use Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for the Green Entrepreneurship study in higher education institutions in Thailand, targeted at business students. The study adopts the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and the concept of self-efficacy with 7 latent variables and 43 items. The paper uses a sample size of 33 sample respondents to perform the pilot test. The index of item-objective congruence (IOC) for all questions was more than 0.5, indicating the usability of the instrument. Furthermore, a pilot study was used to test the reliability of the instrument and by analyzing the Cronbach's alpha coefficient at a confidence interval of 95%. The results of the analysis showed that the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was exceeding 0.93 overall, which was considered as an acceptable level. Thus, the instrument could be used to measure the factors influencing behavioral intention to use MOOCs for the Green Entrepreneurship Study.

    While types of cohort generally build their different patterns of attitudes by certain conditioning forces—a social-economic-technical environment; this study tries to evaluate how two specific generations, namely X and Z, are always different from each other as far as the generational-determining forces are concerned into the investment behavior of these two groups. The qualitative study design involves the use of an item answering through set structured questionnaire items to measure the four latent variables out of the twenty-three items included. Three other well-known professionals validated the expert ratings concerning the perceived effectiveness of the questionnaires in that the item interrogated had Index of Item-Objective Congruency values above the requirement of 0.5. Through a pilot survey with a sample of 30 respondents, all constructs gave Cronbach's alpha coefficients over 0.7 with the use of the SPSS software program indicating that the degree of internal consistency and reliability of the research instrument was high in quality. Data resulted from SPSS analysis revealing a very high score in Cronbach’s alpha, exceeding 0.7 for all constructs that indicate internal consistency and reliability of the instrument. Therefore, understanding the factors that influence investment decisions across the two generations could well broaden and deepen the understanding of the currents that govern today’s financial behavior.

    Online video-sharing platforms have increased their popularity significantly in recent years. For example, YouTube has grown rapidly and become the most visited website in the world. Video-sharing platforms work by allowing users to provide content, view, subscribe, like, dislike and comment on the platform. They provide cost-saving, remote access, improved learning, stress relief, and available advantages 24 hours per day. This paper aimed to develop a conceptual framework to comprehend the acceptance to use video-sharing platforms and proposed a conceptual framework developed from a prior conceptual framework of UTAUT and IS Success model. A structural equation model was applied utilizing confirmatory factor analysis to validate the acceptance model towards an acceptance model for other technological platforms.

    As the standard of living in society continues to rise, more and more individuals are engaging in fitness activities. With the impact of COVID-19 on society, people are gradually realizing the importance of health. Online fitness platforms have been developed to solve some of the problems of the traditional fitness industry. However, if the industry builders of online fitness platforms want to make the platform a good prospect for development, they must understand the user's intention and clarify the factors that influence the user's intention of using online fitness platforms. Due to cost and other reasons, this study was conducted in Wuqing District, Tianjin, and the sample was collected only from this area. The population in the survey area who did not use the online fitness platform was approximately 1,038,153 according to the survey and statistics. This study examined user characteristics, social environment, community influence, publicity and promotion of the platform, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived value, and perceived trust, all based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). 385 respondents who had not used an online fitness platform were invited to participate in the online survey for this study. The data were analyzed using descriptive, correlation, and multiple regression analyses. It was concluded that social environment, community influence, perceived ease of use, and perceived value all had a positive impact on the intention to use. The above predictor variables have approximately 82 % explanatory power. This study further enriches the literature of previous related studies, which can enable relevant companies to improve the quality of the platform itself and enhance the positive perception of online fitness platform users.

    Competitive Strategies in Thailand’s Swiftlet House Business: A Conceptual Framework for Entrepreneurial Adaptation and Financial Management
    (2026-01-01)
    Ratanakitkoson, Areerat
    ;
    ;
    Thailand’s swiftlet house industry is a high-value sector with significant export potential and has attracted considerable international research attention. By contrast, domestic scholarship remains limited, with most studies focusing separately on technology, marketing, or finance, lacking an integrated approach to explain how these dimensions collectively influence competitive performance. This study aims to develop an integrated conceptual framework that explains the relationship between entrepreneurial adaptation (EA), covering technology, consumer behavior, and business networks and financial management (FM), including fixed cost management, variable cost management, and asset management. Together, these factors influence competitive strategies (CS) in terms of product quality, timing, pricing, and channel expansion. The research adopts a systematic literature synthesis, integrating the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Dynamic Capabilities Theory (DCT) to clarify the interconnections among these key variables. The developed framework can be applied to guide entrepreneurs in strategic planning and resource management, as well as support relevant agencies in policy formulation to enhance industry.

    Mobile technology acceptance for library information service: A theoretical model
    (2013-01-01)
    Vongjaturapat, Sununthar
    ;
    The rapid growth of mobile technology provides a great potential to support users to work in a dynamic mobile environment. Research findings indicate that students expect to access their institutes' service from their handheld devices. To cope with this trend, this paper aims to propose a theoretical model for academic institutes and service providers by addressing the following question: What are the key determinant factors for the mobile technology acceptance in using library information services? How to integrate between patron' perspective and technical perspective in the process of mobile technology acceptance in library context? While the Venketesh (2012), UTAUT2 model helps understanding and predicting the drivers of acceptance of new information technologies by consumers, the Goodhue (1995), task-technology fit model helps explaining how technology leads to the impact of user involvement on performance when technology provides features and support that fit the requirement of a task. Adapting the UTAUT2 model requires re-specification to suit a specific information system. The re-specific model introduces new constructs and new measuring instruments. New constructs will add to the UTAUT2 model as well as including integration variables namely technology characteristics and task characteristics. The research includes both exploratory and quantitative techniques. The structural equation model will be used for data analysis. The contribution of the model is a design guideline for the mobile technology function that is consistent with the library context. © 2013 Infonomics Society.
