Executive Summary
This research intends to investigate the relationships of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social influence, trust, perceived cost and consumer intention to use m-commerce in the context to bkash limited in Bangladesh. It is a correlation study that measures the relationship by showing perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social influence, trust, perceived cost as the independent variables and consumer intention to use m-commerce as the dependent variable. The sample for this study was the people living in Dhaka and Comilla city who use bKash for sending or receiving money from different location in Bangladesh. Total 50 questionnaires were distributed among the undergraduate students and 50 questionnaires were used for data analysis. SPSS 17.0 was used to analyze the collected data. Correlational, Coefficient analysis and stepwise regression analysis were performed for testing hypothesis. The correlation, Coefficient analysis and stepwise regression analysis provided meaningful support to the hypothesis. Finally, considering the time and resource constraints, the researcher tried to follow every possible guideline to establish the relationship between the variables.

1.0 Introduction:
The current market environment is going to be more competitive in the world. To stay and run a business in this competitive market people have to take more strategies for attracting customers to their business by creating better facilities and attractive services. By the changing of technology, using of mobile is increasing day by day. So, the service should be related with the technology and mobile based that people can easily use it in any place for any situation.

More than 70% of the population of Bangladesh lives in rural areas where access to formal financial services is difficult. Yet these are the people who are in most need of such services, either for receiving funds from loved ones in distant locations, or to access financial tools to improve their economic condition. Less than 15% of Bangladeshis are connected to the formal

providing a literature review on adoption factors of m-commerce; developing a research model based on literature review; addressing the research methods; discussing the research findings; and Discussing the practical and managerial implications of this study.
Growing evidences support that intentions to buy is influenced by five factors in this study are perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease-of-use (PEOU), social influence (SI), perceived cost and trust. These five very significant variables (perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease-of-use (PEOU), social influence (SI), perceived cost and trust) will assist bKash limited out door branding to plan and execute marketing strategies that will maximize their consumers usefulness to use bKash as well as the profit.
from where customer can withdraw money. So a research can be done on m-commerce or Mobile banking in Bangladesh that will help those companies for taking important decision to increase their customers and improve their service quality.
Intention to use (IU) is, in fact, the behavior intention of the customer to accept a service. Adopting effective strategies to make the customers use more bKash services is going to be a profitable strategy and this kind of profitable strategy results in more new customers, more profit with existing customers, fewer lost customers and fewer mistakes regarding the performance of services. The current research modifies that study where the researcher wants to develop a relationship framework by considering Intention to Use (IU) as the dependent variable and perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease-of-use (PEOU), social influence (SI), perceived cost and trust as independent variables.

2. Literature review
Using mobile phone banking or m-commerce is very new concept in Bangladesh. So, there has been no significant research on Mobile banking or m-commerce in Bangladesh. There are five independent variables in this research, which are taken from previous research. These variables are-
Perceived Usefulness (PU) Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) Social Influence (SI) Trust Perceived Cost (PC)
There is only one Dependent variable in this research, which is also taken from previous research. That is-
i.
Intention to use
Past studies included various frameworks and models to clarify the factors or determinants
theories such as TAM (Davis, 1989), TPB (Ajzen, 1991) and DOI (Rogers, 1995).

influencing the acceptance of technology in consumer context. Most of them are based on
TAM proposed that perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease-of-use (PEOU) are both able to predict the behavioural IU a technology of users. PU is the extent to which an individuals expectation that the use of the technology will improve ones job performance whereas PEOU is the belief that using the technology will be free of effort (Davis, 1989; Fusilier and Durlabhji, 2005).
In order to enhance the prediction of usage intention of m-commerce in Bangladesh in the context of bKash while retaining the model simplicity, this study selects the approach that extends the TAM by including three additional constructs: social influence (SI), perceived cost and trust, SI and perceived cost are the constructs derived from TPB and DOI theories.
Besides, incorporating three additional constructs into original TAM, there are another two major differences between the original TAM and the proposed research model. Firstly, since mcommerce is still at its immaturity stage in Bangladesh, the investigation of intention to use (IU) m-commerce is chosen to examine the adoption of m-commerce instead of actual use in the study (Lu et al., 2003; Liao et al., 2007). Secondly, the attitude construct has been removed from the model for simplicity purpose (Luarn and Lin, 2005).
A total of 19 questions were developed to capture the four adoption factors under investigation.
Page
(Davis, 1989).
Each question was measured by five-point Liker scale. For instance, 1 denoted as strongly disagreed, 2 denoted as disagree, 3 denoted as Neither agree nor disagree, 4 denoted as agree and 5 denoted as strongly agree. Statements that were negatively stated were reversed coded during the analysis, such as the items for perceived cost. These negative worded items are important in reducing the response bias since the respondents have to read the items carefully in case they are phrased the other way round (Field, 2005).
2.1.2 Dependent Variables The measurements for consumer IU m-commerce were measured using items adapted from the original TAM (Davis, 1989). In this study, some of items for IU in the questionnaire were also consistent with that of Kurnia et al. (2006), Luarn and Lin (2005), Liao et al. (2007), Khalifa and Shen (2008) and Shin (2007). The consumer IU item was measured using five-point Liker scale where 1 strongly disagree, 2 disagree, 3 Neither Agree nor Disagree, 4 agree and 5 strongly agree. Four questions were used to capture the IU m-commerce by the mobile device users. The reliability coefficient for the scale was 0.83.
existing studies (Luarn and Lin, 2005; Lin and Wang, 2005; Guriting and Ndubisi, 2006). For
10
example, Wong and Hiew (2005) suggested that the usage of m-commerce is strongly driven by the usefulness of the mobile service, which includes ubiquity, personalization, localization, timeliness and network stability.
Hence, in this study, PU is defined as the extent to which individual believes that the use of mcommerce will improve his or her job performance and daily activities. This construct not only assess the extrinsic characteristics of m-commerce, but it also shows how m-commerce can help the users to achieve task-related goals, such as effectiveness and efficiency (Ho and Kwok, 2003). Hence, the hypothesis is proposed as:
Once again borrowing from Davis (1989), PEOU refers to the degree to which an individual believes that using m-commerce would be free of physical and mental effort. For example, someone may find using services on mobile devices tedious and complex due to the constraints
Page

of physical features of m-commerce such as its small display screen or difficulty in keying in data. Consequently, m-commerce must be easy-to-use or learn and the following hypothesis is proposed:
Based on DOI theory, SI can be divided into two forms: mass media and interpersonal influence (Rogers, 1995). Mass media influence includes newspapers, magazines, academic journals, television, radio, internet, and other applicable mediums. Interpersonal influence normally comes from social network such as peers, friends, superiors and so on (Rao and Troshani, 2007). Fan et al. (2005) stated that user is more likely to suggest and recommend a service to others, if he or she is satisfied with the service. Their finding also revealed that SI had more impact on users acceptance of m-commerce than PU and PEOU. Khalifa and Cheng (2002) also found that SI had strong effect on consumer IU the m-commerce. Hence, the following hypothesis is proposed:
Page

Pagani (2004) stated that price or cost factor was one of the main determinants of 3G services adoption. Anil et al. (2003) also stated that cost is one of the factors influencing the adoption of m-commerce in Singapore. Sathye (1999) stressed the importance of price or cost factors in adoption of innovations. He stated that cost is one of the reasons that prevent consumers from Singapore and Australia to use internet banking. Carlsson et al. (2006) also found that cost related issues is more important than privacy and security issues when it comes to the adoption of 3G services among users in Finland. In this study, the cost factor is tested in Perceived cost construct which is defined as the extent to which individual perceive that using m-commerce is costly. Thus, the following hypothesis is proposed:
3.1.5 Trust
Trust is an important element affecting consumer behavior and it determines the success of technologies adoption such as e-commerce (Holsapple and Sasidharan, 2005). There are various definitions of trust in existing literatures. Cho et al. (2007) defined trust from the business point of view, and defined it as buyer-seller relationships as the perception by a prospective buyer of credibility and benevolence in the target of trust. Pavlou (2003) stated that trust in e-commerce
Page
13
is the belief that allows consumers to willingly become vulnerable to the online retailers after having considering the retailers characteristics. This definition is consistent with the construct of trust as a salient belief that includes goodwill trust (benevolence) and credibility (honesty, reliability, and integrity) (Chew, 2007; Pavlou, 2003). The definition of trust from Pavlou (2003) captured two distinct but inseparable facets of trust in ecommerce. It involves the traditional view of trust in a specific party (online companies) as well as implicitly encompasses trust in the integrity of the transaction medium (internet security technology) (Chew, 2007; Pavlou, 2003). Trust is more crucial and complex in environment such as e-commerce and m-commerce than general and traditional commerce due to its uncertain environment (Lu et al., 2003; Cho et al., 2007) and information asymmetry (Cho et al., 2007). The buyers and sellers normally complete the transaction through these technologies will not necessary meet each other face to face. The buyers will thus be worried that their personal information and money will be transferred to third party without their knowledge (Luarn and Lin, 2005). Sathye (1999) identified security concern as the biggest obstacle to adoption of online banking in Australia. According to Lu et al. (2003), m-commerce is exposed to greater danger of insecurity than e-commerce and therefore the importance of trust is relatively higher in mcommerce. Luarn and Lin (2005) found that perceived credibility (security and privacy) has a stronger effect on consumer IU mobile banking than PU and PEOU. In this study, trust is defined as the extent to which an individual believes that using m-commerce is secure and has no privacy threats. Since the impact of trust on IU an online technology is hard to be ignored in this study, the following hypothesis is developed:

4. Research Methodology:
4.1Research Design
The relationship between the independent variables (Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social influence, trust, perceived cost) and the dependent variable (Consumer Intention to use bKash) has been portrayed by the conceptual framework (Figure 1). As a result, the model specifically supports the research questions and hypotheses.
To gather data on the research questions, the researchers used questionnaire. The rationale behind using questionnaire to collect data is:
1) It takes less time to fill up a questionnaire. Therefore, the bKash users will feel comfortable in providing adequate data. 2) Personal interview is not considered due to the shortage of time and cost. 3) The data gathered through questionnaire is easy to analyze.
In the long run, questionnaire seemed to be the most appropriate method to collect data for this study.

distributed questionnaires among the bKash users in different location of Dhaka and Comilla
1. It allows large amounts of information to be obtained at a relatively low cost. 2. More accurate responses are expected to be obtained because interviewer bias is avoided. Since this study intended to measure the bKash users intention to use to a particular or defined area, respondents were randomly approached in the Different location of Dhaka city (Banasree, Bashundhara, and Gulshan 1 area) and Comilla city (Kotbari area). Convenience sampling approach was maintained as data were collected on different days as well as at uniformly distributed time intervals. Moreover, care was also taken to ensure the presence of customers of different ages, genders, and educational backgrounds.
The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 17 software was employed to analyze the data collected from the actual survey.

From the left to right, the table shows the most significant variables to least one or the weak one. The most significantly related independent variable on dependent variable is Perceived ease-ofuse (PEOU) (r=.374, p<.01). There is only one independent variable which is significant related with dependent variable and rests are not significantly related with dependent variable but somehow have some kind of relationship with dependent variable. Though the relationship between Social influence and Intention to use is not significant, but this independent variable has grater impact on the dependent variable than other independent variable except PEOU. This variable ranks in the second position in terms of relationship with the dependent variable. The relationship is weak (.2 < r < .4, r = .242).

The relationship between Perceived Usefulness (PU) and Intention to use (IU) is insignificant and the strength is very weak (r < .2, r = .161) which is weaker than the relationship between Social influence and Intention to use. There is a Positive insignificant correlation between Perceived cost (PC) and Intention to use (IU) and the strength is very weak (r < .2, r = .014) which is weaker than the relationship between Perceived usefulness and intention to use. There is only one independent variable which is negatively and insignificantly related with dependent variable. The relationship between Trust and Intention to use (IU) is negatively insignificant and the strength is very weak (r < .2, r = -.092) which is weaker than other independent variables.

From the above model summary we can see that the PEOU, PC, SI, Trust and PU can explain 46.1% of Intention to use.
6.0 Recommendation
At the end of all the analysis of m-commerce in the context of bKash in Bangladesh it could be recommended that Customer intention to use has a weak but positively significant correlation between perceived ease of use. So, bKash should focus on their technical side for making easier, understandable and faster their service to their customers. They should reduce their cost also because, perceived cost is an important factor in this analysis.

including some pictures of advertisements, billboards and submit to the outdoor head.
7.1.1 Advertisements: I had to inform to the outdoor head about the advertisements. I had to found out the condition of the advertisements of bkash limited in difference location in Dhaka city sometimes in the out of Dhaka city. 7.1.2 Movements of Competitors: The main competitors of bKash limited are Dutch Bangla bank ltd And Islami bank ltd. They are also providing some facilities of mobile banking for their customers. They are providing different types of new offers to improve their business. I had to find out new movements of those competitors. Firstly, I had to find out what they were offering to attract new customers, how were they improving their advertisements? Secondly, I had to report on those cases and submitted to the outdoor head. 7.1.3 Billboards: bKash limited has setup different types of billboards in different district. I had to visit the billboards in Dhaka city, sometimes in other district with a team and report about the condition of those billboards to the outdoor head. I had to report that whether the billboards were neat and clean, whether those were torn. I had to report about, where should we set up our new billboards also. At first the location should be chosen for set up new billboards. We would chose that location depending on some criteriaa. People gathering place in Dhaka city. b.The centre point of a place

c. The focusing point of a place/location. d. Near college, university e. Bus stand , rickshaw and CNG stand f. Near garments. g.Beside highways h.Local bazaar i. All entering points of Dhaka city.
7.1.4 Mobile Advertisements. (Boat Branding) bKash limited also arranges some mobile advertisements through boat. They give some banners to the boatmen for advertisements. They attach those banners with the boat. By this process they develop their branding to the people who travel by those boats and also they increase their customers of those areas who live beside the river. I had to go to those areas where bkash gave their advertisements and I had to inquiry on that boat. Finally I had to report to my supervisor Mr. Abdul Wadud.

Problem No 1: No recovery system of Money: People may make mistake to send their money by using their mobile phone, but there is no recovery system to recover money from wrong number in bkash limited. Causes of problems: As bKash limited is a mobile based banking system, so there are so many causes for occurring this problem. a. b. c. Someone may input wrong amount of money for sending. Customer may press wrong button of his mobile phone. Customer may input wrong number for sending his/her money.
Solution of problems: I talked with the employee of bKash limited about the problem; they told me that they are not taking any types of solution for this problem yet, because sender may cheat with the receiver of money by recovering money from the receiver after sending money. Problem No 2: Higher service charge The service charge of bKash limited is higher than normal banking system. This problem is decreasing intention of using bKash service to the customers. Causes of higher service charge: Sender has to pay a charge for sending money; receiver has to pay some charges also for collecting money to bKash. On the other hand, receiver has to pay 5 tk commissions to the agents also. After adding all charges the service charge gets higher.
Page
30
Solution of the problem: a. bKash should decrease their service charge and make lower profit for getting more customers. b. Agents commission should be reduced or stopped and should be provided by bKash limited. Problem No 3: Cash unavailability The customers claim that they do not get available cash sometimes when they go to receive a big amount of money (more than 50,000) from the agent. Causes of the problem: As these services are provided by the agents, all of them run a small sized shop of mobile money recharge and their capital is small. So they fall into a shortage of money when a big client comes to them for collecting money. Solution for the problems: bKash should provide more money to the agents for savings and agent should also keep some amount of money in advance which will help them to provide more services to their customers and attract more customers for using bKash. Problem No 4: Not Available agent There are so many Mobile recharging shops in different location in Bangladesh. But everybody
Page
31
is not agents of bKash limited. So, the number of agent of bKash limited is very few in the rural
Causes of the Problem: Some retailers dont want to take the risk of money for their clients. If the retailer makes the mistake for sending money, he has to repay the money to the client because of no recovery systems in bKash limited. On the other hand, agents get a small amount of commission from bKash limited. Solutions of the problem: a. bKash should encourage agents by increasing their commission. b. bKash should make a recovery system to reduce the agents risk. c. In a special day or occasion like Eid, Puja etc. bKash should provide some mobile agent point in different location from which customer can collect money by bKash. Problem No 5: Less External Security The external security of bKash limited is very lower than normal banking. In a normal bank, customer makes their transactions after entering an ATM booth or into the bank office. So, bKash service is more risky than other normal bank. Causes for the problem: Most of the shops of agents of bKash limited are in open places where people gather everyday. For example, the shops are situated in a market which is the risky zone for money. Thief may attack the customers after withdrawing money from bKash as the customers withdraw money in the public place and less external security.

32
Solutions of the problem a. Agents should make some privacy systems for making transactions with their customers b. Agent may make a private room for giving money to their customers.
