The impact of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and trust towards technology adoption: A

case study on On-Demand deals Corporation, a pioneer in the Philippine cloud convenience industry

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of
use, and trust towards technology adoption of On-Demand Deals consumers using the
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which served as the foundation for this study. A total of
nine questions were used as a guide which made the researchers use different methods such
as descriptive statistics, Spearman’s Rank-Order correlation, regression analysis,
multicollinearity test (VIF), Durbin-Watson test, and kurtosis & skewness normality test to
determine the results of this study. The researchers discussed the background of each variable
in the review of related literature. An online survey was conducted where a total of 162
respondents completed the survey. The results revealed that the three independent variables,
namely perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and trust have a high-positive correlation.
Additionally, the results showed that the three independent variables have a significant impact
towards technology adoption. The results also showed a severely high VIF but upon further
investigation revealed that the high amount of multicollinearity, it is, “statistically significant in the
face of that collinearity.” Despite this, the researchers were able to come up with possible
recommendations based on the results of this study that would be beneficial for the company.

 Inflation and Economic Growth in the
Philippines
"Inflation is dead" has been a popular adage for the past five years but it seems deepseated problems
have a way to resurrect themselves. This cavalier declaration by people like Lester Thurow and Roger
Bootie is inaccurate madmay be based on flawed theories or superficial empirical evidence. In the
Philippine context at least, inflation is still regarded as a clear and present danger to macroeconomic
stability. After being maintained at single digit levels for the past four years, 1992-95, inflation reached
double digit levels in the past nine months, averaging 11 percent over this period (see Table 1).

The Philippines remains to be one of the high inflation countries in Asia. What complicates the analysis
of the relation between inflation and output growth are exogenous supply shocks in the past two
decades and the manner in which economic managers responded to these shocks. Policies to stabilize
the economy resulted in episodes of stagflation. Inflation subsequently declines but only after a lag
while contractionary effects on output persist and eventually produce supply bottlenecks that
contribute anew to inflationary pressure. Measures to dampen aggregate demand are again
implemented but the vicious cycle is only repeated. This is another angle to the familiar boom-bust
cycle.
