The collected data were analyzed under AMOS 22 program and the construct validity of the model was tested. As a result of the research; it was concluded that social, hedonic and cognitive innovation had an impact on the switching cost but that the functional innovation dimension did not have an impact on the switching cost. While hedonic innovation was effective on perceived value, it was concluded that other dimensions (social, functional and cognitive) did not affect perceived value. It was concluded that the switching cost was effective on the perceived value. |
