The Relationship

online shopping is becoming more and more common in our daily lives. There are many studies in this field, in which perceived risk is proved to be a very important factor when people considering online business. But the relationship between perceived risk and consumer decision making style has not been studied yet. We use SEM to find out the link between perceived risk and consumer decision making style. As a result, we found fashion and brand style can reduce perceived risk, on the other hand perfect and customary style can increase perceived risk.

Decision Making Model

This paper empirically examines the trust-based consumer decision-making model in the context of a collectivist country (i.e., Pakistan). The target population of the study was the general retail consumers recruited through online survey. A total of 396 valid responses were analyzed using structural equation modeling in Smart PLS. The study reports average variance extracted, composite reliability, Cronbach alpha, and path coefficients. The results confirm that trust and benefits are positively associated with purchase intention while perceived risk is negatively associated with consumer trust. The study also reports some unique findings like information quality is found positively associated with both trust and perceived risk. Also perceived privacy protection is found negatively associated with trust and positively with risk. The study lays down a foundation for subsequent studies to further explore the phenomena. The study is the first of its kind that has examined this model in Pakistan and proposes some useful theoretical, practical, and policy-making implications.

Degree Of Risk

Telephone shopping is in many ways the easiest and most convenient mode of shopping ever devised. Yet the majority of women surveyed did not shop by telephone during the course of a year. Why? The authors examine various determinants of telephone shopping and present data which suggest that the nature and degree of risk perceived by the consumer, and the manner in which she deals with perceived risk, are important determinants of decisions: a) whether to shop by telephone, and b) what items to buy by telephone.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to segment consumers according to their decision-making styles in the context of social commerce. Additionally, the differences among consumer segments in consumer innovativeness, perceived risk, satisfaction and demographic characteristics are evaluated. Design/methodology/approach A total of 384 respondents who shopped for restaurant deals through social commerce participated in this study through an online survey. Two-step cluster analyses were used to segment social commerce consumers into groups, using their decision-making styles. Findings The results showed three types of social commerce consumers of restaurant deals: innovative brand-preferring consumers; realistic consumers; and passive consumers. Innovative brand-preferring consumers chose specific brands and showed the most innovativeness, while realistic consumers and passive consumers were price-conscious and far more cautious in purchasing restaurant deals using social commerce. Passive consumers were, in addition, confused by overchoice. All three consumer groups perceived higher risks to privacy in purchases using social commerce. Passive consumers were especially aware of the risk, while the innovative brand-preferring consumers and the realistic consumers were less concerned about risk. Consumers were especially likely to perceive economic risk, performance risk, social risk, psychological risk, privacy risk and time risk. Innovative brand-preferring consumers were more likely to be innovative and showed a higher level of satisfaction, while passive consumers showed the lowest satisfaction and the least innovativeness. Research limitations/implications This study provides additional insights on consumer decision-making styles in the context of social commerce in Korea. Practical implications Consumer decision-making styles can help restaurant managers to develop deals tailored to specific types of consumers, as well as create customized products and services. Originality/value This study is one of the very few attempts to investigate consumer decision-making styles in social commerce for restaurant deals, so it contributes to the literature on social commerce in the hospitality industry. This study shows that consumer decision-making styles are important in understanding the behavior of social commerce consumers.
