CHAPTER-2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE

17
LITERATUREIREVIEW

Internet usage history and intensity also affect online shopping potential. Consumers with
longer histories of Internet usage, educated and equipped with better skills and perceptions of the
Web environment have significantly higher intensities of online shopping experiences and are better
candidates to be captured in the well-known concept of flow in the cyber world. Those consumers
using the Internet for a longer time from various locations and for a higher variety of ser-vices are
considered to be more active users.

As Bellman (1999) mention, demographics are not so important in determining online


purchasing potential. Whether the consumer has a wired lifestyle and the time constraints the person
has are much more influential. Risk taking propensity is also a powerful factor. E-shoppers have
higher risk-taking tendencies. Consumers with high levels of privacy and security concerns have
lower purchasing rates in online markets but they balance this characteristic with their quest for
making use of the information advantage of the environment These educated individuals, as more
confident decision makers, are much more demanding and have greater control over the purchasing
process from initiation to completion.

Identifying pre-purchase intentions of consumers is the key to understand why they ultimately
do or do not shop from the Web market. One stream of research under online consumer behavior
consists of studies that handle the variables influencing these intentions. A compilation of some of the
determinants researchers have examined are: transaction security, vendor quality, price
considerations, information and service quality, system quality, privacy and security risks, trust,
shopping enjoyment, valence of online shopping experience, and perceived product quality.

The lists of factors having a positive or negative impact on consumers' propensity to shop do
not seem to be very different from the considerations encountered in offline environments. However,
the sensitivities individuals display for each variable might be very different in online marketplaces.
Factors like price sensitivity, importance attributed to brands or the choice sets considered in online
and offline environments can be significantly different from each other (Andrews and Currim, 2004).
Uncertainties about products and shopping processes, trustworthiness of the online seller, or the
convenience and economic utility they wish to derive from electronic shopping determine the costs
versus the benefits of this environment for consumers. Further studies aiming to complete the full set
of factors influencing consumers' prepurchase intentions are still much awaited.

Simon Rigby, Head of Direct Channels at Comet, says, "Our challenge is to meet the needs of
the greatest number of shoppers. By undertaking research on a regular basis, we learn more about our
customers' shopping needs and styles. This helps us todeliver all the necessary eassurances, product
ranges and services. We conducted this survey during our peak selling period as we are in the process
of developing our range of online interactive services, such as Live Chat and CometTV.co.uk.
Powerful multi media sales tools will soon become standard in the online shopping arena. In three
years, you'll be just as likely to click and watch a product related video of your intended purchase on
your computer before you buy - as you are to have an email address today.

Research summarized by Emarketershowed that the Internet applied a bigger influence than for
offline media for electronics compared to that clothing, beauty or home improvement as would be
expected. Internet Marketing has changed the way people buy and sell good and service. It has added
lot of convenience and easy to the whole process of buying. Internet buying prevalence is highest in
the United States, where 93% of Internet users have bought on-line and it is growing rapidly in India
as well (www.ebay.com)
