“…Li and Ku 25 use PPM theory to explain factors affecting e-commerce to social commerce switching. Sun et al 26 apply PPM to test SMEs’ adoption of block-chain-based loan systems. PPM is a useful supplement to other theories, such as UTAUT, because pulling variables can explain factors that encourage users to adopt DCEP, pushing variables could explain the factors that hinder users' enthusiasm for using DCEP, and mooring variables may explain the factors that moderate these pulling and pushing effects.…”

The introduction of digital currency electronic payment (DCEP) by the Central Bank of China is conducive to the central bank's timely grasp of macroeconomic dynamics and the internationalization of RMB. As DCEP is one of the first digital currencies issued by the central bank to be used on a large scale internationally, it is necessary to conduct research on its user adoption. Therefore, this research extends the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to explore factors affecting the adoption of DCEP. The researchers cooperated with city banks that have started to use DCEP, and distributed questionnaires to users in the lobbies of these banks. A total of 295 valid questionnaires were empirically examined with Smart-PLS. The results indicate that perceived fairness, habits, social influence and national identity have significant effects on usage, with p values less than 0.05. National identity is shown to be a significant moderator of the relationships between perceived fairness, habit, perceived risk and usage, with p values less than 0.05. National identity is shown to have no moderating effect between social influence and usage, with a p value greater than 0.05. This research provides the central bank and the government with suggestions to increase user enthusiasm and reduce user perceived risks, thereby promoting the widespread use of DCEP.

“…The step proves the validity of the model (Sun, Dedahanov, Shin, & Kim, 2020). Therefore, all relevant tests have proved the reliability and effectiveness of the model for structural model evaluation (Sun, Dedahanov, Shin, & Li, 2021). 4 indicates that all of the four hypotheses are supported.…”

In recent years, with the continuous development of China's draft industry, Internet drafts have become common throughout China. The talent show industry has not only won the love of the audience, but also the attention of capital. A lot of capital began to invest in the talent show industry to cultivate new popular idols. Through social media platforms, fans can purchase products recommended by idols and vote for idols to increase their ranking. Idols also gain more popularity and sell more endorsed products through interaction with fans. This article starts with the talent economy, through questionnaire surveys and empirical methods, explores the factors that affect fans' consumption on idols. Diversified participation, idol abilities, social influence and empathy have been proved to have positive impacts on fans' intention to consuming. This research provides detailed empirical research conclusions for China's talent show market, which has a strong role in promoting the sustainable development of the talent show economy.

By combining the complexity theory and traditional technology adoption theories, Sun et al (2021) further explored how technical complexity and task complexity affect MSMEs’ willingness to adopt blockchain-based loan systems.…”

Purpose In recent years, the application of blockchain in enterprise financing has become a hot topic in academic research. This study aims to review the existing literature, construct a knowledge framework for this research topic and propose an agenda for future research. Design/methodology/approach Based on 181 papers published from 2016 to 2020 in core journal databases in China and abroad, this study used bibliometric tools to identify and analyze an overview of literature publications, research hotspot trends and research theme clustering. This study also qualitatively analyzes literature from the dimensions of enabling mechanisms, multitechnology synergy, challenges, theoretical perspectives and research methods. Findings This study presents the research progress of blockchain applications in direct financing, bank credit, supply chain finance and other financing modes and analyzes the similarities and differences between domestic and international literature. This study also reveals enabling mechanisms of blockchain in enterprise financing, reflected as information quality improvement (data elements), trust mechanism innovation (business process) and collaboration structure enhancement (network structure). The study found several challenges (e.g. technological uncertainty, data security and organizational change) and trends (e.g. integrated innovation of multiple digital technologies). Additionally, the authors identified several gaps and opportunities for further research. Research limitations/implications This study adopts a strict strategy of selecting search terms when retrieving the literature, leading to the exclusion of certain papers on this topic. Practical implications This study provides valuable insights into the innovative development of enterprise financing modes enabled by blockchain and emphasizes that managers should clarify the applicable boundaries and necessary conditions of blockchain innovation in different financing scenarios to match technological innovation with industrial expectations. Originality/value This study constructs a knowledge framework on this topic based on a comprehensive review of existing research and proposes several important issues for future research based on the identified research gaps.
