2. Rationale
Previous research proved increasingly widening and deepening the use of
ICTs at most stages of the consumer purchase decision processes.
In numerous situations at the successive stages of purchase decision-making
elements of the "traditional "and based on ICT” environments
intertwine and merge, leading to a gathering more information about
products, obtaining recommendations, comparison of prices in
conventional stores and online, resulting in multi-channel shopping
behavior (including the effects of attachment to the channel and its
changes in the consumer decision-making process - the so-called channel
lock-in and channel change effects - for instance ROPO and reverse ROPO
effects).
Product type, consumer demographics and psychographics including
decision-making styles influences are researched.
