Abstract
With the continuous development of the economy and the maturation of modern technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence, the consumption demand of consumers is increasing, and traditional consumption models can no longer meet the requirement of consumer’s shopping experience. A large number of enterprises have started to expand vertically – both online and offline, and omnichannel approach has emerged in response. This research investigates the factors influencing consumer’s intention, taking the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) as foundational framework. The empirical research adapted four key variables – perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived risk as independent variables, alongside with newly introduced connect & communicate as the intermediary variable based on the SICAS (Sense - Interest & Interactive - Connect & Communicate - Action - Share).
