“…Age is among the factors that influence the attitudes of individuals in the use of ICT and different age groups may have different tendencies towards online purchasing (Hwang et al, 2006). This view is also supported by Farag et al (2003) who reported that age is inversely related to online purchasing in a non-linear manner.…”

“…The available studies have generally focused on academic populations (see for example, Hwang, Jung, & Salvendy, 2006;Lightner, Yenisey, & Ozok, 2002) and inhabitants (see for example, Farag, Krizek, & Dijst, 2003;Farag, Krizek, & Dijst, 2006). Additionally, the amount of work on consumer behaviour in relation to most services, including online purchasing, has been relatively low in the academic literature and, therefore, the differences across demographic groups have become an interesting research area (Yang & Tung, 2007).…”

This study reports the findings of a survey concerning the impact of professionals' selected socio-demographic factors with regard to their online purchasing behaviour in Turkey, since this consumer group plays an important role in adopting new technologies in societies. The survey has been conducted using a 'face-to-face interview' approach during an IT event. To keep in line with the available literature, gender, age, education level, income and daily Internet usage, constitute the sociodemographic variants for this study. Five hypotheses were constructed to investigate the nature of the relationship between the socio-demographic factors and the usage of online purchasing. The chi-square method was selected to test the hypotheses. According to the test results, age, income and education level have a significant impact on the online purchasing behaviour of professionals.

“…Alternatively, lack of motivation for localization investments in collectivistic cultures may be justified by findings in earlier studies, which suggested that limited uptake of e-business in Arab and Asian cultural contexts may be explained, among other things, by the preference of these collectivistic societies for face-to-face personal communication versus impersonal online communications (Fujimoto et al 2007, Hwang et al 2006, Elbeltagi 2007, Yasin and Yavas 2007. Thus, the following proposition is suggested:…”

Purpose -the paper examines the role played by culture, geography and infrastructure on European airline's decision to launch market-specific websites.Design/ methodology/ approach -Logistic regression analysis based on 440 observations of home-target country dyads collected from websites of nine European airlines, and supplemented by additional sources of macro level indicators. The unit of analysis is the country dyad.Findings -cultural distance between home and target country, geographical distance between home and target country, website traffic volumes originating from target country, demand conditions in target country, and competition intensity in target country all influence the decision to launch local sites. The cultural dimensions of individualism, masculinity, power distance, and uncertainty avoidance, as well as the legal, commercial and IT infrastructures in target countries don't impact the same decision.Research limitations/ implications -the study's findings are limited contextually to B2C eservice models, the airline industry and the European origin. Other industries, business models or regional origin of firms may exhibit different patterns.Originality/value -the study shifts the research focus from what constitutes website localization into what dictates localization efforts' implementation. Surprising findings suggest that counter to earlier suggestions infrastructural conditions and cultural dimensions' levels in target markets do not predict the launch of local sites, and that geographical distance impact decisions related to the geography neutral medium of the Internet.

“…Advanced e-commerce technologies reduce marketing costs and administration expenditures, while enabling companies to reach dispersed markets (Burinskiene, 2012;Grant and Bakhru, 2004;Shama, 2005). The fast paced internet has brought a large growth of online shopping users (Okamura, 2006), and expanded international business market (Hwang et al, 2006;I-Ways, 2003;Panagariya, 2000;Shewmake and Sapp, 2000). The combination of Internet and foreign trade supported the CBE development.…”

Cross-border e-commerce is one type of international e-commerce similar to cross-border e-tailing. An increasing amount of people are shopping online across the borders, especially in China. By systematic review recent academic papers and research reports, the current situation of its development was identified. Supported by advanced technology, growing demand and advantageous policy, cross-border e-commerce is booming globally. However, culture and consumer behavior, laws and regulations, product and marketing issues, payment conditions and logistics limitations were identified as the main obstacles to its success. Because the products in cross-border e-commerce often require long distance transport, the logistics-related issues showed to be still the strongest concern to be addressed and overcome in order to allow such a movement, wherein, long transportation times, bad return service and high shipping costs are increasingly prominent. Therefore, a need for international cooperation between all involved parties -governments, merchants and service providers, is called. In the end, a proposed responsibility assignment for its development is presented.
