Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Technology Acceptance of Connected Services in the Automotive Industry
Clemens Hiraoka · 2009
65/100
👎 Skip It
A rigorous doctoral study that broke real ground in 2009 by weaving marketing variables into TAM research on car telematics—but its specialized focus and dated findings make it a hard sell outside graduate seminars. If you are an automotive marketing researcher or a PhD student mapping the TAM literature, this earns its shelf space; everyone else will find the payoff too narrow.
