My doctoral research examined the application of Augmented Reality (AR) in e-commerce apps by investigating the factors influencing consumers' adoption of this technology.
Structural Equation Modelling using SPSS AMOS was employed to validate the conceptual framework and test the hypothesized relationships among constructs. To enhance the predictive capability of the model, ANN analysis was subsequently conducted, providing deeper insights into technology adoption behaviour.
The findings offer valuable insights for academics, practitioners, and policymakers in designing effective strategies that can facilitate the successful adoption and wider penetration of AR technologies among e-commerce consumers.
Research Interests
My research interests include consumer behavior, e-commerce, and technology adoption. I am particularly interested in understanding how emerging technologies influence consumer decision-making and business practices.
