This document summarizes a study on consumer perceptions of convergent products that offer multiple functionalities in a single device. The study aims to understand how different combinations of functionalities affect consumer attitudes, how functional diversity impacts perceptions, and how consumer innovativeness influences assessments of convergent products. It outlines the theoretical background, hypotheses, survey methodology, data analysis plan to test the hypotheses, and anticipated discussions and conclusions. The goal is to provide more insight into consumer attitudes toward convergent products like smartphones that integrate many functions.

2. Introduction
Why this?
Convergent products: Growing significantly. Samsung, Apple’s
smart phones, etc. Many functionalities are offered in one
single device.
Little research to fully understand the nature of consumer
attitude toward convergent products
Functionalities add values to the base product
Sometimes, some consumers need dedicated products.
More research is needed
