TY - JOUR TI - Assessment Of Informal Sources Of Information On The Internet When Making Purchasing Decisions By Young Consumers AU - Budzanowska-Drzewiecka, Małgorzata TI - Assessment Of Informal Sources Of Information On The Internet When Making Purchasing Decisions By Young Consumers AB - Assessment of Informal Sources of Information on The Internet When Making Purchasing Decisions by Young Consumers The study presents the results of a research aimed to determine the assessment of informal sources of information on the Internet by young consumers (aged 15 to 24 years). The swomystematization of literature regarding the search for information made it possible to identify the variables which were used as evaluation factors. The research shows that gender, the extent of the use of the Internet to search for information in the process of purchasing, and the prior use of informal sources diversify this assessment. This, however, is connected with the impact of a particular source on purchasing decisions.   VL - 2015 IS - Volume 16, Issue 3 PY - 2015 SN - 1896-8201 C1 - 2084-3976 SP - 253 EP - 273 DO - 10.4467/20843976ZK.15.016.3592 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/zarzadzanie-w-kulturze/article/ocena-nieformalnych-zrodel-informacji-w-internecie-przy-podejmowaniu-decyzji-zakupowych-przez-mlodych-konsumentow KW - eWOM KW - young consumers KW - informal sources of information KW - consumer search for information KW - source credibilityeWOM KW - source credibility
