Does 4G Technology Trigger the S-commerce Era Coming Evidence from Taiwanese ICT Market

Abstract

In reviewing of the generalization of wireless technology in the variously relative information and communication technology (ICT) industries, this research systematically explore the potential determinants of the fourth generation (4G) technology to cross-analyze the drivers of the smart-commerce (S-commerce) era forthcoming through the comprehensive measurements of the hierarchical analytical network process (ANP) resulted from the multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology by gathering of the Taiwanese ICT market surveyed data. The most contribution is that "the 4G technology probably trigger the Smartcommerce (S-commerce) era coming. (4GPYTSEC)" that means the S-commerce is still the developed mainstream in the variously relative ICT industries according to the some restricted factors, such as technological development limitation, government political prohibition, users' operational restrains.
