Consumers' Perceived Value in Internet Shopping

Abstract

In recent years, the trend of online retailing has become one of the most imperative uses of technology with the development and ease of accessibility of the internet. The activity of online shopping is considered to be one of the significant aspects of online retailing and has been emerging as an essential part of consumers' lifestyle. Besides various advantages, consumers feel different types of perceived risks involved in online shopping. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the factors affecting consumers' perception of value. The present study empirically examines the influence of perceived advantages and risks on consumers' perceived value in online shopping environments. The results posit that perceived advantages and perceived risks have a positive significant influence on consumers' purchase intentions. Further, perceived advantages show a significant relationship with consumers' perceived risks. The findings afford practical implications for online retailers to frame necessary strategies in enhancing perceived value.
