knowledge. So many times’ there may occur a gap between the practical and theoretical
knowledge while going through the field by experiences.

which plays a vital role in the individual’s growth. We, the student of JVIMS (Shri

INTRODUCTION TO E COMMERCE
The internet is being developed rapidly since last two decades, and with relevant digital
economy that is driven by information technology also being developed worldwide. After
a long term development of internet, which rapidly increased web users and highly speed
internet connection, and some new technology also have been developed and used for web
developing, those lead to firms can promote and enhance images of product and services
through web site. [1]
The Internet has transformed the way consumers transact for their daily needs - be it
ordering food, booking movie tickets or even booking a cab. Online shopping is one
category which has witnessed unprecedented growth in the last two years. This revolution
is largely led by innovations which in many ways are unique to India as compared to rest
of the world. [2]
Lack of credit card penetration, poor infrastructure, etc. for many years hindered the growth
of this category. Cash on delivery as a concept is unheard of in many markets and has been
a big driver for trial. Also, instead of investing in building in house delivery team, brands
have been working on tie-ups with grocery stores, India post etc. to increase their delivery
reach. There are many more such examples of innovation and customer centricity which is
driving success for online shopping sites and apps in India. [3]
As the recent researches have indicated that, the internet shopping particularly in business
to consumer (B2C) has risen and online shopping become more popular to many people.
For instance, the Dell computer company have reached 18 million dollars sales through the
internet during the first quarter of 1999. As a result, about 30% of its 5.5 billion dollars
total sales were achieved through the internet (Moon, 2004). Therefore, to understand
internet shopping and its impact on consumer behaviour could help companies making use
of it as a form of doing e-business. [4]

INTRODUCTION TO ONLINE SHOPPING
There are many reasons for such a rapid developing of internet shopping, which mainly
due to the benefits that internet provides. First of all, the internet offers different kind of
convenience to consumers. Obviously, consumers do not need go out looking for product
information as the internet can help them to search from online sites, and it also helps
evaluate between each sites to get the cheapest price for purchase. Furthermore, the internet
can enhance consumer use product more efficiently and effectively than other channels to
satisfy their needs. Through the different search engines, consumers save time to access to
the consumption related information, and which information with mixture of images,
sound, and very detailed text description to help consumer learning and choosing the most
suitable product. [5]
However, internet shopping has potential risks for the customers, such as payment safety,
and after service. Due to the internet technology developed, internet payment recently
becomes prevalent way for purchasing goods from the internet. Internet payment increase
consumptive efficiency, at the same time, as its virtual property reduced internet security.
After service is another way to stop customer shopping online. It is not like traditional
retail, customer has risk that some after service should face to face serve, and especially in
some complicated goods. [6]
In last two years many e-commerce websites have come up and competing one another
with striking deals like free shipping, coupons, free gifts, easy return policy, and many
others. The latest data reveals that Flipkart, Amazon, Snapdeal, Paytm, Myntra, eBay,
Jabong, Shopclues, Homeshop 18, and Infibeam are the top ten e-commerce websites in
India. Flipkart is one of the biggest Ecommerce giant that arrived as the top among e-
commerce websites in India. [7]

The largest of these online retailing corporations are Flipkart, Snap deal, Amazon.com, and
eBay. Retail success is no longer all about physical stores. This is evident because of the
increase in retailers now offering online store interfaces for consumers. With the growth of
online shopping, comes, the concepts of satisfaction and loyalty for website which involved
in providing services on the website and transacting online. Companies before using
effective marketing strategies analyze various factors to convert potential customers into
active ones. The five dominant factors which influence consumer perceptions of online
shopping are Information, Ease of use, Satisfaction, Security/Privacy, Proper

CONSUMER BEHAVIOR TOWARDS ONLINE SHOPPING
Online consumers are always seeking new products, new attractiveness and the most
important thing being price compatibility with their budget. The internet is the best way to
save time and money through purchasing online within their range of budget at home or in
anywhere. Online consumers don’t have limits to online shopping. They also use internet
for comparison of prices of goods and services, news, visit social networks and search
information and so on.
Analyzing consumer behaviour is not a new phenomenon for scholars. Philip Cotler,
marketing expert, have studied on this topic. Theories about consumer behaviour have been
used to develop an effective marketing strategy. Moreover, it is impossible to think
marketing without the Internet in today's world. Online marketing is the topic that have
been researched and made applications many times by researcher from past to nowadays.
Studies on online shopping investigated the factors that influence online shopping as well
as motives for, value of and antecedents of online buying behaviour. As a result, the
academic researchers and the business world started to focus on the consumer side of the
online purchasing behaviour and a lot of researches and articles were prepared to make
guidance for the development of online shopping.
PAYMENT
New payment methods have developed and traditional payment channels have adapted to
online shopping. Payment by credit card continues to predominate worldwide, however
alternative payment methods such as E-Wallets are on the rise, by far outpacing the growth
of credit card use. Mobile payments are also growing rapidly. [12]
An analysis of real time metered smartphone usage data with Nielsen Informate Mobile
Insights reveals how Indian consumers are using mobile payment apps. Overall time spent
on mobile payment apps has increased by nearly 1.5x, with users spending an hour and a
half on mobile payment apps every month.[13]

wallet.html

23. Page | 23
Findings indicate that even though the penetration of mobile payment apps among users is
similar across towns of all sizes (60% of those in large towns and 58% of small town use
them), usage is higher among small town users, with these consumers spending 109
minutes a month on these apps. But such limitations aside, the ease of use coupled with the
evolution of smartphone users have led to massive growth in popularity of these apps over
a short span of time with users spending as high as one hour per month on them.[14]
Online shoppers generally use a credit card or a PayPal account in order to make payments.
However, some systems enable users to create accounts and pay by alternative means, such
as:
 Cash on delivery (C.O.D.)
 Debit card / Credit card
 E-wallet
The financial part of a transaction may be processed in real time (e.g. letting the consumer
know their credit card was declined before they log off), or may be done later as part of the
fulfillment process.[15]

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Dr. Seema Agarwal, “A STUDY OF FACTORS AFFECTING ONLINE SHOPPING
BEHAVIOUR OF CONSUMERS IN MUMBAI REGION”; Tactful Management
Research Journal, (ISSN: 2319-7943)
The increasing use of internet by the younger generation in India, provides an emerging
prospect for online retailers. If online retailers know the factors affecting Indian consumer's
buying behaviour, the association between these factors and type of online buyers, then
they can further develop their marketing strategies to convert potential customers into
active ones. This study attempts to analyze the features related to the shopping behaviour
of online shoppers. Consumer's shopping behaviour in respect of online shopping was
studied using different socio-economic variables. The data was collected through
questionnaire.
The results of study revealed that online shopping in India is significantly affected by
various demographic factors like age, gender, education and income. Further it also helps
retailers to understand the drivers of consumer's attitude and goal to shop on the internet
and consumer's perceptions regarding ease of use and usefulness. Conclusions derived
from the analysis can be used as useful guide for market orientation. The outcomes of the
study suggest that assessment of consumer's shopping behaviour can contribute to a better
understanding of consumer shopping behaviour in respect of online shopping.

Present study is a descriptive study based on the detailed review of earlier relevant studies
related to the various concepts of online shopping to explore the concept of online
shopping.
Findings reveled that online shopping brings optimum convenience to the consumers.
Privacy and security risk emerges frequently as a reason for being wary about internet
shopping. Shopping convenience, immediate possession, information seeking, social
interaction, and variety affects the consumer attitude towards online shopping. The
impossibility of product testing, problems with complaints, product return and misuse of
personal data are the main uncertainties regarding on-line shopping.

The growing use of Internet in India provides a developing prospect for online shopping.
If E-marketers know the factors affecting online Indian behavior, and the relationships
between these factors and the type of online buyers, then they can further develop their
marketing strategies to convert potential customers into active ones, while retaining
existing online customers. Companies also use the Internet to convey, communicate and
disseminate information, to sell the product, to take feedback and also to conduct
satisfaction surveys with customers. Customers use the Internet not only to buy the product
online, but also to compare prices, product features and after sale service facilities they will
receive if they purchased the product from particular website. This paper focuses on factors
which online Indian buyers keep in mind while shopping online.
Findings states that information; perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment and
security/privacy are the five dominant factors which influence consumer perceptions on
online purchasing.

PERCEPTION TOWARDS ONLINE SHOPPING IN KANCHIPURAM”; GALAXY
International Interdisciplinary Research Journal (Volume 1 (2), ISSN 2347-6915)
This research revealed that consumer buys goods from the online shopping website on the
basis of factors like offers and discounts, variety of product available, free home delivery,
website user friendliness. Analysis showed that most of the respondent would agree to buy
durable goods online rather than shopping of durable goods with the traditional method.
Out of the agreed respondent to buy online durable goods, most of the respondent would
think that it would be beneficial to shop durable goods online on the basis of factors like
easy to order, variety, discounts/ offers, saves time and avoid long queues. With above
analysis we can thus prove the hypothesis to be positive.

This research found that information, perceived usefulness, ease of use; perceived
enjoyment and security/privacy are the five dominant factors which influence consumer
perceptions of online purchasing. The most preferred product of online buying is travelling
tickets and clothing remains the least preferred choice of online shoppers. Among the
payment options, Payment on delivery through cash in the safest choice of payment, while
credit card are next preferred choice, online bank transfer is least preference choice. Online
shoppers seek for clear information about product and service, time saving, convenience,
security and delivery on time are all important factor for online shopping. The offers with
punch lines “Attractive offers” do not attract online shoppers. Most of the consumers who
have experienced online shopping are very satisfied.

The growth rate of India’s e-commerce industry is fascinating. It was reported as 88% in
2013 which is a clear contrast picture of the slower economic growth of India. The rising
inflation rate in recent years has not slipped away the performance of online shopping
industry in India. Companies are using the internet to put across and commune the
information. Simultaneously it helps the companies to give an idea about their products
and instantly getting the feedback of customer’s fulfillment to get stimulated turnover for
future. The primary objective of the current study is to understand the online buying

30. Page | 30
behaviour of consumers in India. It has also made an attempt to get information about the
scope of improvement in online shopping website.
Results revealed that there is clear indication of increasing significance of online stores in
the life of Indian people. The e-stores are frequently visited by the shoppers. The ease and
convenience provided by these stores for 24x7 has made very easy shopping for consumers
worldwide. The analysis discussed in the above section has documented that the Indian
customers are also getting addicted to the online shopping and they do like various features
of online shopping as by rest of the world. But the statistics available has shown that Indian
market is still not a fully developed market for e-tail stores. There is huge scope of web-
stores in various areas and in almost all the segments. The young population is the biggest
attraction of this industry and they may contribute substantially to the growth of online
shopping in India. The majority of internet users are youngsters, the majority of goods and
services demanded are related to only this segment.

This paper consists of the groundwork with a brief introduction of recent trends in e-
commerce on people of Bangladesh; particularly its impact on university undergraduate
students in Sylhet region. This has been followed by their general perceptions and
preferences of the online shopping including products and website selection. Each of these

and open-ended discussions with a small sample group of university students at
undergraduate level in Sylhet region. It also investigates into positive as well as negative
website characteristics and sum up the favorable elements into a description of an e-
commerce website that would suitable to the group being studied.
Research revealed that people are trying to familiar and habituated with online shopping.
But the internet infrastructure and socio-economic condition of Bangladesh does not allow
the e-tailers as well as the actual and potential customers to remain and become optimistic

about the new business concept of e-commerce. Also, the dependency of students is another
constrain. By looking at what students want and their satisfaction levels some established
e-tailers such as Cell Bazaar and Bikroy.com have been invested significant resources in
this sector. Perhaps it would be useful for Cell Bazaar and Bikroy.com in Bangladeshi
perspective to imitate some of the world‘s established e-tailers such as Amazon, eBay and
others to maintain large numbers of students as their customer.

This paper had analyzed factors affecting on online shopping behavior of consumers
that might be one of the most important issues of e-commerce and marketing field.
However, there is very limited knowledge about online consumer behavior because it is a
complicated sociotechnical phenomenon and involves too many factors. This goal has been
followed by using a model examining the impact of perceived risks, motivational factors
and return policy on attitude toward online shopping behavior and subjective norms,
perceived behavioral control, domain specific innovativeness and attitude on online
shopping behavior as the hypotheses of study. This study identifies the following
implications.
The results and findings of this study revealed retail companies should start taking
measures to eliminate risk factor and build trust in this form of retail. The retail managers
should sway consumers through different platforms like social networking sites, ads,
promotions, online only discounts etc. to let people cross the threshold and start buying
because Indian consumers are still comfortable with brick and mortar format as they
appreciate friendly approach of salesman and social element of shopping, which has been
found as important element in shopping .

E-tailers spend enormous amount of time, effort and energy and resources to market and
sell their products and services to their consumers. They engage in activities such as
segmentation, targeting, positioning and use the four Ps to ensure that the consumers select
their products and services from a shelf full of competing products. The perceived
transaction inconvenience is the major predictor of shopping cart abandonment. The other
predictors are perceived risks and perceived waiting time. While marketing literature is
replete with investigations focusing on virtually every aspect of consumer and shopping
behavior, little academic research focus has been directed towards understanding why
consumer abandon a shopping cart towards the end, after they have selected the product.
The study examines the unexplored area of consumer behavior at the final stages of
transaction culmination and hence is an initial step towards filling that gap.

CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOUR: A LITERATURE REVIEW”; Pezzottaite
Journals, (Volume 4, Number 2, ISSN (Print):2279-0977)
Consumer buying behaviour is the figure total of a consumer's outlooks, likings, purposes
and decisions at the time of purchasing any product or services. Many researchers have
done various types of studies in online and offline consumer buying behaviour. The
purpose of the paper is to provide a comprehensive review of extensive literature of
previous studies since 1999 till date. The study of various literatures for last fifteen years,
led to the extraction of various factors affecting online purchasing of various products and
services. The most motivating factors have been identified which encourage consumers to
shop online.
The study unveiled the various resisting factors, which act as barrier and divert the
consumers towards traditional buying mechanism. Online shopping involves no travel,
product carrying or restrictions on shopping hours, offering easy accessibility, convenience
and time saving. In contrast, offline shopping permits and allows physical examination of
the products, interpersonal communication but involves high travel and search costs, and
also has restrictions on shopping hours. Consumers may use the two channels differently
resulting the same consumers may exhibit different behaviors when shopping across online
and offline channels. Therefore, it is important to understand how the same consumers
behave at the two channels. This study attempts to provide an exhaustive review of prior
theoretical literature of online vs. offline consumer behavior.

Despite the basic characteristics of consumers the behavior pattern of consumers are more
or less similar to each other, particularly in the aspects like quality, preference and decision
making. However it is evident that the present approaches to draw the attention of
customers are not adequate.

34. Page | 34
Results showed that the consumers are particular about the appropriate system of
distribution and hence there is a great need for change in the distribution system. It may
not be always correct to say that consumers behave in the same way as it much depends on
type of products, quality of the products and price of the products. Therefore the producer
must be paid special attention at least with regard to price and distribution system to cover
the large number of customers. This is mainly because of the fact that the buying capacity
of the consumers may not be equal to the buying capacity.

The online marketing space is in constant shift as new technologies, services, and
marketing tactics gain popularity. Understanding shifts in consumer behaviour gives
insights into the demands of the market. Knowing these things enables marketers to drop
certain products or make strategic changes in pricing that will result in big gains or, at the
very least, limit damage to profits. This paper focuses on one such strategy which can be
implemented to meet the demands of the dynamic market.
The results of this study showed that there are many different segments available for online
stores, which are effected by constant evolutions. To meet the new challenges and
requirements of the market, the business owners need to think and make better decisions.
Having access to statistical information from all areas of online marketing and sales
activities gives an advantage over competitors that do not have this information. To meet
the requirements of the customers, the business strategy always comes up with a new idea.
This is one such idea through which customers can not only buy a new product through
ecommerce websites, but also go for exchanging old products.

The aim of this research is to provide a view of the various demographic and psychographic factors
influencing consumer’s willingness to purchase online. A new model based on Technology
Acceptance Model (TAM) has been developed for the purpose of this research which incorporates
consumer demographic factors and Perceived risk along with other TAM variables to explain
the consumer acceptance of online shopping.
The findings of this study have revealed a higher number of male internet shoppers than
females. The results are in consistence with the literature review. Men adopt computer
technology much faster than females. In comparison to females, males are more prone to
participate in internet activities predominantly emailing, information search or
downloading and purchasing activities. Females exhibit a higher degree of computer
nervousness and techno stress than males. Age has also been found to have an influence on
internet retailing adoption. Internet usage has not diffused uniformly amongst all age
groups, hence the difference in attitude towards online

INTRODUCTION TO RESEARCH
Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. One can also define
research as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic.
In fact, research is an art of scientific and systematic investigation. The advanced learner’s
dictionary of current English lays down the meaning of research as “A careful investigation
or inquiry especially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge”.
Research is an academic activity and as such the term should be used in a technical sense.
According to Clifford woody research comprises defining and redefining problems,
formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions, collecting, organizing and evaluating data,
making deductions and reaching conclusions, and at last carefully testing the conclusions
to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis.
Research is the most important process for advancing knowledge for promoting progress
and to enable man to relate more effectively to his environment, to accomplish his purpose
and to resolve his conflicts. Although it is not the only way, it is one of the more effective
ways of solving scientific problems.
Research may be defined as a documented prose work. Documented prose work means
organized analysis of the subject based on borrowed materials with suitable
acknowledgement and consultation in the main body of the paper. Research in common
parlance refers to a search for knowledge.
RATIONALE OF STUDY
Online shopping is the buzz, the sensation in the current scenario. The Internet has made a
new generation of consumers who like to shop online. Getting anything by a click of the
mouse right from fashion accessories to jewelry, apparel, electronic items, crockery, home
appliances, personal care products, and more has led to the popularity of the 'online
shopping mall' phenomenon. It is the easiest and fastest way of shopping.
At an online shopping mall, one can catch a glimpse of new product releases, combo deals,
packages, discount offers, seasonal products, etc. and accordingly grab the best deal. Time
is not the constraint; one can shop anytime - the facility is available round the clock.

39. Page | 39
Besides saving our time of visiting an offline store and staying away from the hassles
involved, one can gain an additional advantage, i.e., saving a lot on the money factor. The
literature review has revealed that most of the studies have mainly concentrated on trust
and risk independently. There have been hardly any studies which take into account
perceived risk and trust in Internet shopping.
Moreover, on detailed search the researchers have not found any substantial literature
available in the Indian context delving on risk perceptions in internet shopping. From above
literature study, it can be seen that all these studies have been done in non –Indian context.
Through this research, the researchers expect to find the buying behavior of internet
shoppers, in what categories people intend to spend more, why customers prefer internet
shopping, whether trust matters in internet shopping or not in Indian context. Moreover
customer perception about risks in internet shopping will also be studied and their reasons
for not shopping online.
SIGNIFICANCE OF PROBLEM
Research inculcates scientific and inductive thinking and it promotes the development of
logical habits of thinking and organization. The role of research in several fields of applied
economics, whether related to business or to the economy as a whole, has greatly increased
in modern times. Research has its special significance in solving various operational and
planning problems of business and industry. [16]
In this era of internet, it has become important for any ecommerce company to find that
how a consumer shop through online shopping websites. There are so many online sellers
like Flipkart, Amazon, Infibeam, AskmeBazaar, etc. So how consumer behave towards
online shopping is very much important. Knowing consumers’ preferences makes
company do more better business in future.

RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design specifies the methods and procedures for conducting a particular study.
A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of the
data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy
in procedure.
Research design is broadly classified into three types as:
 Exploratory Research Design
 Descriptive Research Design
 Causal Research Design
I have chosen the exploratory research design.
EXPLORATORY RESEARCH DESIGN:
Exploratory research study are also termed as formative research studies. The main
purpose of such study is that of formulating a problem for more precise investigation or
of developing a working hypothesis from an operational point of view. The major
emphasis of such studies is of the developing of discovery of idea and insight.

RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS
The hypothesis is a tentative solution of a problem. The research activities are planned to
verify the hypothesis. It is very important for the researcher to understand the meaning of
the word hypothesis.
Hypothesis is usually considered as the principal instrument in research. Its main function
is to test the available data. In fact, many experiments are carried out with the deliberate
object of testing. Decision makers often face situations wherein they are interested in
testing hypotheses on the basis of available information and then take decisions on the basis
of such testing.
TYPES OF HYPOTHESIS
Null Hypothesis H0:-
If we have to compare method A with method B about its superiority and if we proceed on
the assumption that both methods are equally good, then this assumption is termed as the
Null Hypothesis.
Alternate Hypothesis H1:-
As against null hypothesis, we may think that the method A is superior or the method B is
inferior, then it is termed as Alternate hypothesis.

CHI-SQUARE TEST
Chi-square is a statistical test commonly used to compare observed data with data we
would expect to obtain according to a specific hypothesis. For example, if, according to
Mendel's laws, you expected 10 of 20 offspring from a cross to be male and the actual
observed number was 8 males, then you might want to know about the "goodness to fit"
between the observed and expected. Were the deviations (differences between observed
and expected) the result of chance, or were they due to other factors. How much deviation
can occur before you, the investigator, must conclude that something other than chance is
at work, causing the observed to differ from the expected. The chi-square test is always
testing what scientists call the null hypothesis, which states that there is no significant
difference between the expected and observed result.

SUGGESTIONS
 Many retail store should develop a smart phone application for online shopping.
 Online sellers should consider post purchase activity that helps customer to
purchase products online.
 Customers are now using so many social networking websites so online sellers
should advertise their products in social networking websites.
 Risk perception for online shopping should be reduced.
 Online sellers should track history of customers so that they can provide
personalized offers to individual.
 Sellers should provide brief description of products so that customers can order
accordingly.
 To make online shopping more preferable, online sellers should make design of
website more attractive.
 As the preference for shopping from application is more, company should focus
more on application based shopping then on web based shopping.
 As discount offers are more influential factor in purchase decision, promotional
efforts by company should be more on discount offers.
 As the lower price in online shopping is main reason, attracting consumers for
online shopping, the price should be featured properly in advertisement by the
company.
