Assessing the impact of corporate credibility and technology acceptance on online shopping

International Journal of Electronic Marketing and Retailing (IJEMR), Vol. 1, No. 3, 2007

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the relationships between perceived ease of use, usefulness, trustworthiness, and expertise with self-reported willingness to give information to an e-vendor, future e-vendor purchase intentions, and to recommend the e-vendor to others. Data from a survey of 70 adult respondents showed that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and perceptions of corporate trust were positively correlated with future purchase intentions and willingness to recommend the e-vendor to other consumers. Only trust, however, was positively associated with information giving. Perceived corporate expertise was virtually unrelated to how consumers evaluated their online vendors.
