Abstract

Convergence is a popular term in consumer electronics. In recent years, a number of gadgets have evolved to take on different functions, as manufacturers try to out-do one another. Printers are now expected to scan and fax. Mobile phones are moonlighting as cameras. Mp3 players have become mini-television sets. In a paper about technological convergence, SMU marketing professors, Jin Han and Seh-Woong Chung, explore how consumers are really taking to such multi-purpose machines.
