网络营销参与与消费者行为外文翻译本科毕业论文设计外文翻译原文Internet Marketing Involvement and Consumer BehaviorIntroductionOne of the most stunning aspects of the past few years has been the speed at which the Internet market has expanded and matured This rapid rate of Internet adoption has resulted in an extraordinary pace of change in the marketing landscape- and opened up a variety of opportunities for marketers All across Taiwan and around the world shopping centers are closing their doors as consumers turn to the Internet for all of their shopping needs The Internet as the primary on-line marketing channel is now overtaking the commercial on-line servicesIn fact all of the on-line service firms now offer Internet access as a primary service Users can send e-mails exchange views shop for products and access newsfood recipes art and business information As the Internet establishes its position as a mainstream marketing channel consumer criticism regarding Internet marketing strategies have increased as well Critics worry about information privacy including issues related to the acquisition and disseminationof consumer data Thus though over half of all American adults use the Internet approximately only half of the current Internet users have purchased products or services onlineThis poses a serious obstacle for Internet marketers as 75 of American adults do not spend money in web storesThe percentage of online money-spenders is generally less in countries outside the United StatesA key factor that decides the success of Internet marketing is user involvement The level of consumer involvement in a product category or service is a major determinant of online purchase or usage behavior Different involvement clusters produce different responses Thus the degree of user involvement in an Internet marketing effort will determine consumer behavior The response dimension is a function of the type of involvement generated and the situations confronted The response dimension characterizes how a consumer will behave under different involvement conditions There are three response factors 1 search 2 information processing and 3 decision persuasionHowever a variety of variables are thought to precede and influence the user involvementThese so-called antecedents interact with each other to determine the degree of involvement a consumer will experience at any particular timeThese variables can be grouped into 1 person 2 stimulusobject and 3 situation categoriesThe purpose of this paper is to propose a framework that candetermine the relationship among involvement antecedents of Internet marketing measured involvement degree related constructs and consequences of consumer behavior The framework first establishes the factors that affect the degree of Internet marketing involvement and then presents the different involvement degree clusters according to the measured involvement degrees Finally consumer behavior consequences of Internet marketing are established With the findings this paper then discusses the implications for Internet marketers and recommends Internet strategies for a variety of involvement degree clustersInvolvement identificationInvolvement identification Involvement result is the customers ultimate concern with a purchaseconsumption experienceHolbrook and Hirschman 1982 proposed that involvement included experiencing a number of positive results such as the rewards inherent in the product and the products expressive values Rothschild 1984 defined involvement as an unobservable state ofmotivation arousal or interest Involvement is evoked by a particular stimulus or situation and has drive properties Its consequences are searching information processing and decision making Hansen 1985 suggested that involvement is nothing more than a consumers interest for a product category Moreover some researchers proposed frameworks for conceptualizing the involvement construct Zaichkowsky1986 outlined prior studies that have shown involvement antecedents to be due to personal characteristics object characteristics andor situation characteristics Earlier researchers posited that one or more of these factors influenced the consumers level of involvement in advertising products and purchase decision Andrews Durvasula and Akhter 1990 designed a framework that closely scrutinizes the involvement constructs antecedents state properties measures related constructs and consequences The framework provided a nomological network of relationships among involvement antecedents state properties related constructs and consequences The antecedents to involvement were grouped into personal and situationaldecision factors The related construct factors such as ones opportunity to process and ability to process can limit the impact of these antecedents on the level of involvement Numerous consequences of manipulated involvement levels have also been determined including search behavior information processing and persuasionInvolvement measuring methodologyAndrews Durvasula and Akhter 1990 distinguished involvement measurement scales into two types One scale measures enduringproduct involvement For example Buchanan 1964 Zinkhan and Fornells 1989 method for measuring product interest was developed based on their research respondents relative preferences for watching short films regarding the products in question Each product was presented four times for a possiblerange of 0 to 8 a higher result indicating Bowen and Chaffee 1974 and Tyebjee 1979 used seven product-involvement measures to differentiate product class Vaughn 1980 distinguished product class by product categorization and thinkfeel dimensions Else Block 1981 used a 17-item product involvement scale for car enthusiasts Laurent and Kapferer 1985 used a 19-item consumer involvement scale Zaichkowsky 1985 1987 used a 20-item bipolar adjective scale while Wells 1986 used a 10-item relevance scale The second scale measures information manipulation with a focus on advertising messages This second method studies three topics 1 attentionprocessing strategies 2 personalsituational involvementand 3 audienceprocess involvementIn marketing involvement has often been equated with perceived product importance Traylor 1981 Lastovicka and Bonfield 1982 Zaichkowsky 1985 proposed a bipolar adjective scale the Personal Involvement Inventory PII to capture the concept of involvement in products The scale successfully complied with standards for internal reliability reliability over time content validity criterion - related validity and construct validity The PII offers researchers an easily administered tool that can be applied across product categories used as a covariate to other research questions By using twenty items the scale allowed an adequate sampling of possible items that represented product involvement was long enough to ensure a high level of reliability This scale used semanticdifferential that consists of a series of bipolar items each measured ona seven-point rating scale It is easy to administer and score takes only a few minutes to complete and is applicable to a wide array of objects Thus this study used PII as the measuring scale for Internet marketing involvement and to segment the market clustersThe FrameworkAccording to Andrews Durvasula and Akhter 1990 this studys conceptualization of the relationship construct is shown in Figure 1 This framework for identifying consumer involvement is influenced by four antecedents that included a personal characteristics b lifestyle c perception needs and d situations that directly affect the shopping decision The consumer behaviors affected were a purchase decision b items purchased c amount of money spent d volume of purchase and e trade mode Based on this framework the four antecedents influenced the consumers involvement in Internet marketing and consumption behaviors These involvement antecedents are significantly related with the degree of Internet marketing involvement which in turn has a significant relationship with consumer behaviors The following hypotheses are offered regarding the relationship among the degree of Internet marketing involvement influence variables and consumer behaviorH1The degree of Internet marketing involvement is significantly related with consumers personal characteristicsH2The degree of Internet marketing involvement changes significantly with different consumers lifestylesH3The degree of Internet marketing involvement changes significantly with different consumers perception needsH4The degree of Internet marketing involvement is significantly related with situationsH5Consumer behavior is significantly related with the degree of Internet marketing involvementThe study Focus groupsThis study interviewed a focus group of ten potential customers to collect original consumer perception needs associated with Internet marketing In total 122 descriptions of perception needs were collected All nonredundant needs obtained from the first focus group were recorded as primary needs The study then interviewed a second focus group of ten different customers to consolidate and reduce the number of primary needs This process generated 20 representative items regarding the respondents perception needs and attitudes toward Internet marketing A third focus group composed of ten Internet users was formed to verify the descriptions about perception needs so a questionnaire on perception needs and attitudes for Internet marketing could be designed Finally 17 items concerning perception needs and attitudes were obtained and incorporated into a questionnaire for a random sampling survey Concurrently the SRI Value and Lifestyles Program was used to design and acquire 18 lifestylequestions Lifestyle was defined as a persons living patterns Lifestyle questions measured consumers major AIO dimensions Activities Interests and Opinions In this study consumer perception needs and lifestyles were measured using a five-point Likert scale Consumer purchase behavior personal characteristics data and the situations were assessed using a nominal scaleData collectionThe primary data from this research were collected through personal interviews with 620 Internet users selected by quota sampling throughout Taiwan After rejecting 20 unusable responses this research collected a sample of 600 respondents for an effective response yield of 9677 percent Respondent ages ranged from sixteen to fifty years old Gender was almost equally balanced 435 male 565 female Respondent occupations included engineers students business professionals laborers and service workers Educational levels ranged from junior high school to post-graduate degrees Monthly individual gross income ranged from under US550 to US2850 Of the 600 respondents 138 were married and the others were either never married or divorced These demographic characteristics were similar to those of Taiwan Internet usersThe first purpose of this study is to measure a persons involvement in Internet marketing Using the PII measure to total the 20 items gives a range from a low of 20 to a high of 140 This study divided consumers into three involvement degree clusters by quartiles An involvement scorewithin the first quartile25th percentile was considered the low involvement cluster An involvement score between the first quartile25th percentile and the third quartile 75th percentile was considered the intermediate involvement cluster An involvement score on the third quartile75th percentile or above was considered the high involvement cluster To decide the cut off points for low intermediate and high involvements on the scale an overall distribution was tabulated and presented in Table 1 The resulting distribution was used to classify scores into low intermediate or high involvement clusters when the study needed a comparison among individuals A low score were defined as one ranging from 20 to 69 Intermediate scores were defined as those ranging from 70 to 86 High score were defined as those in the top quartile of the distribution ranging from 87 to 140 Because some involvement scores were similar the respondent sample could not be divided perfectly into three groups by quartiles The resulting three clusters were 151 252 285 475 and 164 273 for low intermediate and high scores respectively Result analysisThis study first sought to determine the influence of antecedents on Internet marketing involvement By the Chi-square test this research found that the degree of Internet marketing involvement was significantly related with three items of consumer personal characteristics p000 Education occupation and income This result supports H1 Most members ofthe low involvement degree cluster had low levels of education were laborers or service workers and were in the middle-income level Most in the intermediate involvement degree cluster were college students with low incomes Members in the high involvement degree cluster had the highest education level most of whom with graduate or college degrees Those in the high involvement cluster were mostly students or business professionals and exhibited the highest average income among the three clustersSource Shwu-Ing Wu Asia Pacific Journal of
