Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) provided economic benefits with Taiwan Economic boom. When SMEs faced the daunting challenge of external environment, successors of SMEs brought opportunities for creativity and innovation, but SMEs also had undergone enormous change. In Taiwan, most of SMEs were at crisis points in the succession and struggled to survive. The purpose of this study was to point out key factors of succession and cultivation of successors in SMEs. We used Delphi technique to select dimensions and criteria. When we found out dimensions and criteria, we used DEMATEL and AHP in the future to find their mutual influence degree and weighted value of key factors of succession and cultivation of successors in SMEs. We could provide this study for owners to make decisions about succession and cultivation strategies to enhance the ability and skill of successors and his performance. Relevant researches pointed out that 53% SMEs in Taiwan were sole proprietor companies, 51% SMEs in Taiwan operated more than ten years, 53% owners of SMEs in Taiwan were over 50 years of age, but only 40% SMEs in Taiwan had succession plans. Many family businesses operated by successors reported heavy losses in Taiwan. Owners of SMEs were key factors in the initiation of succession. When owners created favorable environments for successors, and successors who made good use of knowledge and skills received social resources from owners and the companies achieved the goal of sustainable development. This study used Delphi technique. From literature on the exploration into SMEs, owners, successors, succession and cultivation plans, and by initial interviews with two experts, we got initial dimensions and criteria. Then we chose a group of experts in this topic, and wanted anonymous experts to fill in open-ended questionnaires which we designed by using initial dimensions and criteria. According to results of first questionnaires, we set up agreed thresholds of anonymous experts. If anonymous experts reached a consensus, we got the most important dimensions and criteria. If anonymous experts failed to reach a consensus, we modified the questionnaires, and anonymous experts filled in closed questionnaires again until they reached a consensus. This study was limited by the scope of research, research samples, data sources, and research methods, but it was expected to contribute to the key factors of succession and cultivation of successors and systematic analysis techniques for owners of SMEs to train successors.

All activities in the organization, from the completion of simple work to the operation of the entire enterprise, require “people” to execute or manage. In a fiercely competitive environment, excellent talents are an important key factor in a company’s success. From how employees enter the company, how to adapt, learn, and grow in the enterprise, and be properly used to take on tasks, human resource management plays a very important role. . Therefore, how companies can make good use of human resources at the right time, get enough manpower, quality talents, and promote their good development depends on the success of human resources. The structure of Taiwan’s social population has evolved to “age”, prices are getting higher and higher, and wages are not rising. As a result of the decline in fertility, various social change factors and economic problems, the vicious circle has led to the growing number of children in recent years. The impact on employment has not been found to be suitable for talents, and the development of financial owners is still to cultivate outstanding professional talents, and regard talents as a competitive advantage. In response to changes, the project is responsible for the recruitment, development and training of responsible personnel. Continue to compete for talent. The difficulty in the recruitment of human resources has increased, and in the face of severe competition in response to innovation, companies have also realized that they must change the traditional concept and nature of work. In particular, learning-oriented enterprise organizations must constantly learn, grow, change and innovate, and education and training is the driving force for improving human quality. Through the implementation of education and training, the members of the organization can have the ability to adapt. The organization can adjust the operation policy and business strategy in a timely manner, and strengthen the strength of the company’s survival

Blockchain is the most disruptive innovative technology and application after the Internet. Acceptance of the users for blockchain technology from potential adopters to acceptance rate between real adopters, through the transaction risk, transaction cost and transaction piping, word of mouth penetration, perceived intentions and feelings after use, will affect the acceptance and the amount and speed of use of satisfaction and loyalty. The objectives of this study were to examine the perception of blockchain investors on the quality of investment relationship (integrity, commitment, and satisfaction) of virtual currency, and the impact on investors’ investment behavior (behavioral loyalty) and investment intention (attitude loyalty) in virtual currency. We conducted a questionnaire survey in early 2019. After a rigorous screening of valid questionnaires and statistical analysis, 515 valid questionnaires were collected. We used SPSS statistical package to performed the multiple regression analysis to explore the multivariable analysis of relationship quality perception and customer loyalty. The regression model showed that the commitment, integrity, and satisfaction together can explain 82.6% variance of customer loyalty, while behavior loyalty and attitude loyalty are 79.9% and 80.0%, respectively. In sub-dimensions of investment relationship, integrity (b=0.269 to 0.540, p<0.001) and satisfaction (b=0.657 to 1.389, p<0.001) were positively associated with behavioral loyalty, attitude loyalty, and customer loyalty. The trading platform of integrity, commitment, and satisfaction for investors in the investment behavior of virtual currency ─ has a positive influence on behavior loyalty. This research enhanced our understanding of the determinants of consumer complaining behaviors. The study results can provide implications to the enterprise, to allocated limited resources to meet the actual needs of customers, and shorten the gap between the customer’s expectation and actual perception of the service quality, and further Increase customer satisfaction and the positive image of the company.

Facing progressively more intense competition, telecom carriers think on how to evaluate servicing business customers and optimize the relationship in between, so as to increase revenue and profits. With the Rapid development of network technology and popularization of smart phones devices, the mobile APP (Application, referred to as APP) has penetrated into our lives. Telecom service provider has launched customer service mobile Applications (for many years). In addition to save the human burden of the customer service system, more importantly, it can provide more service experience and construct new virtual channels for product sales. There are limited studies on the comparison of technology acceptance model and switch cost among online and traditional channel while a lot of researches related to the effectiveness of switching costs was published. This study uses the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology Model (UTAUT) as the main architecture to explain behavioral intention. The main variables are performance expectation, effort expectation, social influence and facilitating conditions, and plus conversion costs, to observe whether there is a regulatory effect between the conversion cost and the relationship between behavioral intention and usage behavior.

The purpose of this study is to illustrate the process that ended in a pilot project titled “Incubiamo Cultura” (a label playing with the words Incubator-Love and Culture), presented by some academic entrepreneurs who envisaged the possibility to create a network among public (i.e. the university, the Municipality, public cultural organisations) and private actors. Based on a sound literature review in both the field of entrepreneurial university and cultural ecosystems, the authors adopted an action research approach to analysing a paradigmatic case study.This paper contributes to filling a gap of research on the role of universities in a cultural ecosystem, focusing on how to design a new value chain for the launch of startups in the creative and cultural sector, where universities can play a catalyst and pivotal role.

Ageing is a relevant and urgent priority on the agenda of all the most industrialized countries. Ageing is harming the sustainability over time of the national healthcare systems as we know them nowadays. While policymakers are paying major attention to chronic care and the emerging new needs of patients who are aged 60+, less light has been shed on how to enable population-wide Healthy Ageing initiatives that offer the opportunity to postpone the need of institutionalized care and thus guarantee a longer healthy life to elderly. This study aims at furthering the debate about Healthy Ageing initiatives for elderly aged 60+ by shedding new light on the behavioural determinants of elderly’s intention to use a personalized, artificial intelligence-enabled, virtual coaching system for healthy ageing. Being the use of these systems based on individual “voluntariness”, understanding what might enable or inhibit such behaviour is of paramount importance for policymakers, professionals and developers. In fact, recent evidence shows that, despite the demonstrated benefits of these systems, the level of adoption among citizens aged 60+ falls far short of the expectations. This study develops and empirically tests an original model that, adopting the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as overarching theory, adds three other explanatory variables, i.e. Subjective Norm, Health Literacy and Information Technology (IT) Literacy. This study has been carried out within the NESTORE H2020 research project (ID 769643). Data from 436 Italian citizens aged 60+ were collected to test the hypotheses via Structural Equation Modelling. Results confirmed that Intention to Use a virtual coaching system is explained by Perceived Ease of Use and Perceived Usefulness. While Subjective Norm was found to have an indirect influence. Health Literacy has a negative effect on the Perceived Usefulness. Finally, IT Literacy positively influenced Intention to Use through the partial mediation of Perceived Ease of Use. Our results contribute to theory by unfolding the role played by Subjective Norm, Health and IT Literacy, being the last two factors at the core of numerous improvement strategies. With respect to practice, the study offers implications to different stakeholders to facilitate the adoption of digital technologies for healthy ageing.
