CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION:
E-commerce (Electronic Commerce) is the buying and selling of goods and
services, or the transmitting of funds or data, over an electronic network, primarily
the internet. It involves the use of Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) in making commerce between
consumers and organizations, organization and organization or consumer and
consumer. With the growing use of internet worldwide, Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) has also increased in humungous amounts and so has flourished
e-commerce with the prolific virtual internet bazaar inside the digital world which
is righty termed as e-malls.
Online shopping is a form of electronic commerce which allows consumers
to directly buy goods or services from a seller over the Internet using a web
browser. Alternative names for online shopping are e-web-store, e-shop, e-store,
Internet shop, web-shop, web-store, online store, online storefront and virtual store.
Mobile commerce) describes purchasing from an online retailer's mobile optimized
online site or app.
Online shopping was invented, implemented and successful very quickly
less than a week between idea and rough experimental model, less than 6 months
to productionise hardware and software and less than 12 months from product
release to the first operational system, the worlds first direct Business to Business
(B2B) online shopping system in 1981[Thomson Holidays]. In online shopping the
buyer is connected interactively with the sellers computer system. No third parties
are involved. When a third party is involved that is usually called e-commerce. The
Rediffusion computer system used for online shopping was open, using standard
communications hardware and a standard human interface. Any terminal could talk
to any suitably equipped computer. Any number of applications could be available.
B2B was commercially viable from the beginning. Business to Consumer (B2C)
online shopping did not become commercially viable until the 1990s. The first
B2Cs in the 1980s were basically proof of concept pilots paid for largely by social
security funding and used to investigate the potential for IT to reduce social
disadvantage by offering in- the- home services to vulnerable and physically
7

challenged citizens. Valuable lessons for the retail industry were also learned from
these pilots not least that order processing, order fulfillment (by manual item
selection) and delivery should be based at the local store not at some automated
warehouse.
Aldrich realised from the beginning of his work on online shopping that the
traditional TV as a computer interface device had real limitations. He also saw the
need for high capacity telecommunications links to the home. This is what we call
broadband today.
Online Shopping has become an integral part of Shoppers life. Now
everyone looks for various products online, at least for reviews if not for buying it.
Also Online Shopping comes with various attractive features like heavy discounts,
deals and easy returns policy. It is very safe to say today that Online Shopping will
persist and is not going anywhere. With more and more Merchants coming online
for selling their products, we can assume that future of shopping is online
shopping.
The first secure retail transaction over the Web was either by NetMarket or
Internet Shopping Network in 1994. Immediately after, Amazon.com launched its
online shopping site in 1995 and eBay was also introduced in 1995. Then many
other like Walmart, Alibaba.com, Flipkart and IKEA .
According to UCLA Centre for Communication Policy (2001), online
shopping has become the third most popular Internet activity, immediately
following e-mail using/instant messaging and web browsing. It is even more
popular than seeking out entertainment information and news, two commonly
thought of activities when considering what Internet users do when online. Of
Internet users, 48.9 percent made online purchases in 2001, with three-quarters of
purchasers indicating that they make 1-10 purchases per year. When segmented
into very versus less experienced Internet users, the very experienced users average
20 online purchases per year, as compared to four annual purchases for new users.
Online shopping in its early stage was a simple medium for shopping with fewer
options. The users can just place an order and pay cash on delivery. But, in last few
years this field has been renovated to a high extent and hence fascinated many
customers. Today, the online shopping has become a trend in India and the reason
8

behind the adoption of this technique lies in the attractive online websites, user
friendly interface, bulky online stores with new fashion, easy payment methods
(i.e. secure pay online via gateways like PayPal or cash-on-delivery), no bound on
quantity & quality, one can choose the items based on size, color, price, etc.
According to Google, India has more than 100 million Internet users, out of
which around half opt for online purchases and the number is growing every year.
With such a large market size, companies, right from retail shops to consumer
goods, are entering the Web space to attract potential customers.
According to the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India
(Assocham), the size of the online retail industry is expected to touch Rs 7,000
crore by 2015, up from Rs 2,000 crore now, at an annual growth rate of 35 percent.
According to industry leaders, portals offering daily deals and discount offers with
good delivery services attract the largest number of online shoppers.

TOPIC RELATED CONCEPTS:

B2B (business-to-business), also known as e-biz, is the exchange of


products, services or information (aka e-commerce) between businesses, rather
than between businesses and consumers.B2B business model sells its product to an
intermediate buyer who then sells the product to the final customer. As an example,
a wholesaler places an order from a company's website and after receiving the
consignment, sells the end product to final customer who comes to buy the product
at wholesaler's retail outlet.
Business to consumer (B2C) is business or transactions conducted directly
between a company and consumers who are the end-users of its products or
services. The business-to-consumer as a business model differs significantly from
the business-to-business model, which refers to commerce between two or more
businesses.

Customer to customer (C2C) markets are innovative ways to allow


customers to interact with each other. While traditional markets require business to
customer relationships, in which a customer goes to the business in order to
purchase a product or service. In customer to customer markets the business
facilitates an environment where customers can sell these goods or services to each
other.
C2B or Consumer- to- Business is a business model where the end
consumers create products and services which are consumed by businesses and
organizations. It is diametrically opposite to the popular concept of B2C or
Business- to- Consumer where the companies make goods and services available to
the end consumers.
Electronic governance or e-governance is the application of information and
communication technology (ICT) for delivering government services, exchange of
information communication transactions, integration of various stand-alone
systems and services between government-to-customer (G2C), government-tobusiness (G2B), government-to-government (G2G) as well as back
office processes and interactions within the entire government framework.
[1]
Through e-governance, government services will be made available to citizens in
a convenient, efficient and transparent manner. The three main target groups that
can be distinguished in governance concepts are government, citizens and
businesses/interest groups. Generally four basic models are available
government-to-citizen (customer), government-to-employees, government-togovernment and government-to-business.

METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH PROBLEM:
11

Consumer attitude towards online shopping.

NEED OF THE STUDY:


Online shopping is a emerging business and although most of the people prefer
online shopping there are also some problems faced by the consumers. The prime
purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the factors influencing the
consumers during online shopping.

OBJECTIVES:
1. To know how often people use internet and the contribution of online
shopping in that.
2. To know how often people use online shopping.
3. To know type of commodity people prefer in online shopping.
4. To know the preferred online shopping site.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY:


Online shopping nowadays is growing due to the increasing reach of internet
services among customers. Customers not only use the internet to make purchases
but also to search for information about the product or service being purchased.
Internet has changed the way of conducting business. Many businesses have
started building up their strategies around the internet. E-Marketers should get to
understand and analyze the problems faced by the customers and also set up sites
by considering the preferences of the customers. This study deals with the
customers perceptions towards the various aspects of online shopping and the
reasons why people are not into online shopping. This study as it is mainly in
Kakinada and Pithapuram may not contain more people using internet and if it
includes Vishakhapatnam it get more clear analysis of customer attitude as
12

Vishakhapatnam is a metropolitan city where people get more access to internet


and other services.

RESEARCH DESIGN:

Sample size: The sample size of the survey is 100 respondents.


Sampling Area: Kakinada and Pithapuram.
Sampling Technique: Random sampling Technique.
Primary Data:-It was collected from the respondents with sample size 100.
Secondary Data:- It was collected from internet and other websites.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:

1. The biasness of the respondents may affect the result of the study so for as
primary data is concerned. Because of the influence of the respondents the
result of the study may not be the same for all places.
2. The survey has conducted in Vizag only it may not reflect public opinion at
large
3. The sample size has been small(100) which may not reflect broader pictures.

CHAPTER-4
OBSERVATIONS AND FINDINGS

Findings :
23

From the research I came to know about the important conclusion regarding the
customer attitude towards Online Shopping. Ecommerce revolution can be bought about

by providing more broadband connections at affordable prices.


In India still the penetration of internet has not happened the way it should have been

which hampers online shopping.


The study shows that more than 50% of people use online shopping very often.
Online shopping is mostly used by youth and working people and most of them use it for

purchasing electronics and fashion.


The most popular Online shopping sites in India are Flipkart, Snapdeal, amazon and
ebay. Each site is having their own costumers for various categories like Fashion,
Electronics and other products.

Conclusion :

This research shows that Online shopping is having a bright future in India. perception of
consumers is getting better and people are often preferring to shop online. With the
increased use of internet consumers are interested in comparing the products and buy
24

them online. This enables the consumer to shop anything from anywhere and at anytime.
This study mainly focuses on the factors that affect the consumers online shopping
behavior. The information search is the most important factor that helps the consumer
suitable products or services for their needs. so, the online retailers have to enhance and
improve the information supporting such as provide much detailed product information
and use internal search engine in order to increase the information search and thus
increase the online shopping. Convenience and time saving are the main reason to shop
online so, the site should be designed in such a way that consumers find less time in
finding product they are looking for as delay may turn the consumers to another site.
Therefore the factors that influenced or prevented people from using online shopping
need to be carefully taken care by the online retailers, who can utilize the appropriate
marketing communication to support consumers purchase decision making process and
improve their performance.
