This paper empirically examines the impact of the absorptive capacity of the established company on the creation of its new business by acquiring technology from an external source. There are multiple challenges in new business creation by external technology integration: First, firms must be able to manage differently the technology integration in a new business field and that in existing business. Second, firms must be able to manage and deploy their absorptive capacity to effectively assimilate the external technology inside. This paper develops a theoretical underpinning on the absorptive capacity theory and wide range of technology integration literature. Field interviews were conducted to evaluate the validity of the theoretical underpinning. The result suggests that established firms must handle the simultaneous management of 1. business proposals by individuals with absorptive capacity, 2. business start-up from neither-complete-seeds push and nor-needs pull, and 3. personal connection with outside sources.

In repetitive work, without rest break rejection rate increases. Also mental fatigue, Eye pain, musculo-skeletal disorders are common phenomenon due to this repetitive work. So, the main objective is proper scheduling of the rest break time, so that mental and physical problems are mitigated. For this, a repetitive working industry is chosen, where the impact of rest break to productivity and workers mental relief are checked.

This study aims to understand how young mobile phone users in Japan and Bangladesh access mobile entertainment services (MES). The authors examined a cross-national analysis of behavioural intention (BI) factors using a combined technology acceptance (TAM) model and the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) model by using the factors of perceived value (PV), perceived behavioural control (PBC), subjective norm (SN), and attitude (ATT). The authors analysed two sets of data: (1) Bangladesh, 2014 and (2) Japan, 2009. Results show that consumer’s intention to use MES for Bangladesh was the same as those for Japan. PV and ATT were found to have positive significant influence on the intention to use the services.
