Conditionant factors of innovativeness in consumer behavior on the Internet

Abstract

The several discussions about the electronic commerce and their implications encourage as much the companies as the consumers. However, more important than the quantification of the phenomenon, is the understanding of itself, as the Internet can be assumed as a business tool with positive repercussions in the businesses, as well as the potential market where transactions can be realized. In this study, we tried to identify the most relevant factors in the configuration and presentation of the offer whose impacts allow to unchain a certain purchase decision, as well as, to verify the relationship among the degree of entertainment, enjoyment/user-friendliness and the implication/involvement with the information of each Website and the adoption of innovative buying behaviour.
