“…Second, this paper provides a theoretical framework with hypotheses to better understand the relationships between variables in the study. According to Bolaños et al ( 2022 ), only a few studies have been done within developing countries on entrepreneurship schooling or education; however, these studies have focused on the influence of entrepreneurship education on definite fields (Edwards et al, 1998 ; Kim et al, 2021 ). Especially in the China context, as far as the authors were aware, there had never been a study on this subject.…”

Entrepreneurship education is considered as an important way to influence the competitiveness of any country or industry. Therefore, entrepreneurship education provides opportunities to progress to a more competitive educational environment. This paper examines the impact of students' entrepreneurship education in China on their entrepreneurial intentions. Perceived entrepreneurial capacity, education in entrepreneurship, and attitudes toward entrepreneurship are all factors in the model developed to predict entrepreneurial intention. Structured equation modeling (SEM) is being used to test 98 management students from various universities in China. The findings show that there is statistically significant and positive relationship among entrepreneurship learning, entrepreneurial attitude, entrepreneurship education, and management students' entrepreneurial intention. Perceived behavioral control and perceive social rule significantly improve management students' entrepreneurial intention. Moreover, technology transfer correlates statistically with students' entrepreneurial intentions. Thus, universities are being encouraged to offer entrepreneurial training modules to increase their students' entrepreneurial intent.

“…That is, greater cognitive behavior, or the intensity to which users are satisfied with the information, is given in a specific product and is linked to higher repurchase intention for such a good or service. This connection exists due to the mediating effects of the consumer’s perceived usefulness ( Kim et al, 2021 ). The study explains to the E-commerce consumers how ready and able to use the Internet to purchase goods.…”

“…The customer consent to cooperate with a web-based E-commerce system directly linked with the usefulness of the system. In E-commerce, the website’s front page is where potential customers can find out more about the company’s services and expertise ( Kim et al, 2021 ). In general, it is a very simple system, and in the advanced concept of organizations, it is a multidimensional system and very complex ( Hopkins, 2022 ; Kliestik et al, 2022b ).…”

Companies in the world today understand that keeping users in touch is essential to enhancing their trust. The primary objective of this study was to determine the intention-based critical determinants of E-commerce utilization in China from the end users’ perspective. We developed a framework that identifies the factors that influence E-commerce utilization in China. Besides, we introduced observational research (data analysis) conducted in a real-world E-commerce sense. Results are based on a sample of 400 respondents by employing a comprehensive questionnaire survey. The structural equation modeling (SEM) and the partial least squares (PLS) regression approach was used to analyze the data. Study results show that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, reputation, trust in vendors, and purchase frequency significantly influence consumers’ intention to use E-commerce systems. Research outcomes emphasize transforming social norms, raising consumers’ awareness, redesigning policy frameworks, and highlighting the paybacks that E-commerce offers through integrative and consistent efforts.

The use of technology in tourism is increasing day by day. Service robots are now on the agenda. The success of developments that envisage a new experience for consumer tourists depends on the accurate prediction of tourists' possible attitudes and behaviors and the influencing antecedents. This study examined consumer tourists' attitudes and usage intentions towards service robots on the multidimensional basis of anthropomorphism and technological readiness (TR). A survey was conducted with 1018 tourists in Türkiye face‐to‐face and using QR codes. Findings showed that attitude towards service robots (AR) mediated the relationship between anthropomorphism, technological readiness and intention to use (IS). Participating tourists anthropomorphically focused on the physical appearance of the robots rather than their functions and internal structures. Service robot experience is still limited in the tourism industry. Therefore, the empirical results obtained are guiding theory and practice in terms of academic studies and tourism service providers.
