The aim of this research is to study the online consumer behavior in Iran using a combination of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with other variables. This study is objective, analytical, and descriptive. The subject of this research is online shoppers in the city of Shiraz. Sampling was simple random and was collected via the Internet. According to the conceptual model, the minimum required sample for this study was 80 samples; however, to ensure accuracy 390 questionnaires were collected. To analyze the data, structural equation modeling was used, using partial least squares (PLS) and analysis of one way variance (ANOVA). Results show that in online purchasing in Iran perceived ease of use (PEOU) has a positive effect on controllability and self-efficacy of individuals. Trust has a positive effect on the attitude and controllability of individuals. Media has a positive effect on subjective norms. Cost reduction has a positive effect on the attitude of individuals. Finally, age and income influence the intention of individuals in online purchasing. The other hypotheses of this study were not confirmed. It can be concluded that factors such as PEOU, trust, media, cost reduction, age and income affect online consumer behavior in Iran.

In recent years, the study of online consumption behavior has gradually formed its research system and analysis model based on the inheritance of traditional research paradigms, focusing on the inner mechanism of consumption models explained by consumption activities. Online consumption is based on the research scenario of social e-commerce and forms a broad research network through the extension of consumer objects, consumer psychology, and consumer concepts. Although the theoretical constructs of online consumer behavior continue to improve, the relevant studies still do not fully grasp the research frontiers due to the lagging research nature. In the context of Web 2.0, it is impossible to run through the latest developments in online consumption research. Moreover, the study of online consumer behavior has shown a trend of diversification and multiple schools of thought, and a research jungle has emerged, which in essence is the perfection and new height of the study of consumerism. This paper analyses the origins, frontiers, and prospects of online consumer behavior research to clarify the formation principles, development paths, and future directions of the online consumer behavior research jungle. Ultimately based on the economic changes in the post-pandemic context, this paper integrates and proposes an evolving mechanism for studying online consumption behavior, intending to achieve a peek into and reveal the jungle of online consumption research.

Desires in the marketing context are defined as the phase of the sequence in marketing that begins with the creation of awareness, and then interest is usually at the stage when the customer really wants the product or service that is being marketed. Desire is a form that is seen as a precursor in making actual purchases. Desire is more than want of consumers to try and have the product, the consumer's curiosity towards the product is directed to the interest to buy. Desires are created to convince consumers that they have a great desire to have the product or service offered according to their needs. Desire is not enough to explain its impact on increasing consumer buying interest and consumer behavior, but the desire that has binding properties to consumers that called binding costumer desires can increase buying and behavioral interests. Binding costumer desires is used to fill the research gap about subjective norms against purchase intention by using the basic theory of the theory of reaction action (TRA) and theory of planned behavior (TPB).

The Internet and Apps related technologies are considered as information “super highway” since they are able to connect people, computers, and data to one another. Because of them, a new communication medium has risen, which provides an access to the large flow of information across various broad extensions. As a consequence, there has been a need for understanding the behaviors of online consumers, since Information Technology and its usage have had a massive impact on shopping behaviors as well as the rate of market success. This chapter's aim will be to sanitize the current understanding of Apps/online consumer behavior to shape Apps marketing strategies and implementations.

The purpose of this chapter is to highlight research areas of customer satisfaction and repurchase intentions and their antecedents in the Indian e-commerce industry. To retain, attract, and satisfy customers, e-retailers need to understand how and why online customers evaluate a web store. The relevant areas of consumer behavior and marketing research were derived to explain the possible gaps to study with respect to e-commerce in India. To do so, a systematic review of online consumer behavior literature is conducted. Following inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 109 journal articles are analyzed. The major finding of the chapter was that there is very less amount of research considering the areas of customer satisfaction, trust, loyalty along with repurchase behavior of the online customer in specific to the Indian context. Therefore, it is a need of the hour to extend the study to know the repurchase behavior of the online consumer in present time.

In this chapter, the author investigated the characteristics of online consumer behavior regarding the grocery retail market and their impact on retailers' distribution channel strategies. It examined the impact of recent innovations and the globalization of online technology on retail strategy. To achieve these goals, this study analyzed case studies of online consumer behavior in the Japanese online grocery market. Not only has there been a dramatic increase in sales over the last decade, but there have also been significant changes in both online technology and distribution channel strategy in this market. Underlying this transformation is the influence of Japan's characteristic online consumer behavior. Based on an empirical analysis of Japanese consumers and several case studies, this chapter predicts the future features of the online grocery market.

Social media platforms have become a major forum for consumers to interact with firms and other individuals. Drawing on both the customer-dominant logic and the theory of planned behavior, the present chapter aims to advance understanding and encourage research on the variables that drive consumers' online purchase intention. Al though there is a general agreement in recognizing the importance of social media platforms as a source of information about consumer behavior, a complete theorization of the variables that affect the relation between behavioral intention and online purchase intention is still lacking. The proposed theoretical model is an extension of the theory of planned behavior and incorporates trust and electronic word-of-mouth communication as part of the customers' online purchase intention. Finally, the theoretical and managerial implications are further discussed.
