CHAPTER I
This chapter consists of the background of the study, statement of the problem,
hypothesis, conceptual framework, theoretical framework, the significance of the study,
scope and delimitations, and operational definition of terms.

Introduction
People who utilize social media platforms interact with people with who they
create, share, and exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks.
Networking websites have become the usual tools used by people in communication.
Media are considered a powerful agent of interaction, responsible for shaping an
individual's socialization process. Nowadays, everyone wants to try and discover it and
scroll through it because it gives us access to a completely different world of different
possibilities including the marketing world.

Background of the Study


The evolution of technology contributed to aspects of marketing. This evolution of
communication affects the younger generation. It encourages millennials to initiate
interactions through online platforms. Innovation through technology becomes a trend
and marketing strategies through online platforms emerge which helps various
businesses reach out to the target consumers. Due to the pandemic, people need to
sustain their needs at home while acquiring safety precautions. The safest way of
buying is in form of online shopping platforms which helps the consumers buy without
physical interactions.

According to Vasic et al. (2019) by The Influence of Online Shopping


Determinants on Customer Satisfaction in the Serbian Market, Consumer satisfaction
with online shopping is directly dependent on several factors. This issue is particularly
important for underdeveloped markets. To increase online commerce participation, it is
necessary to explore and analyze the connection between customer satisfaction and
diverse determinants. Customer satisfaction in online shopping, in the Serbian market,
directly depends on the following determinants: security, information availability,
shipping, quality, pricing, and time.

In Sanz-Blas et al. (2008) paper, Influence of online shopping information


dependency and innovativeness on internet shopping adoption, he outlined online
shopping information dependency can be increased with interfaces that are easier to
use, but only if perceived usefulness remains high. Consumer innovativeness positively
influences internet exposure and the ease-of-use perception of the shopping medium
referred to as the "shopping channel”. The development of the Internet and its unlimited
worldwide impact were the basis for outreach entrepreneurship to the new spheres.
Electronic commerce (abbreviated as e-commerce) allowed companies to sell without
the necessity to set up brick-and-mortar stores. Moreover, the way of doing international
trade has changed, too. Businesses using the Internet gained a new dimension of
communication with other businesses and organizations. (Tekin et al., 2018).

E-commerce is a form of business that is conducted in the online environment,


while the Internet behaves as a unified platform that connects buyers and sellers,
(Turban, King, 2015). Pilík (2013) states that in the Czech Republic alone, there is an
increase of 800 new e-shops every year. As was mentioned at the beginning of the
paper, e-commerce has its benefits for small- and medium-sized enterprises (Jalaldeen
et al., 2018). They claim that these benefits are not noticeable at the time of e-commerce
implementation in companies but companies will start to notice them later. Trading via
modern technologies allows a quick response to the emerging trends in purchased
products. Thanks to this possibility, even small- and medium-sized companies can be
more flexible and it gives them a competitive advantage over big corporations (Cantú,
Morejón, Molinaand, & Wong, 2014).

This study helps students identify how online shopping affects consumers and
distinguish its positive and negative effects. Since online shopping is prevalent these
days, this research aims to remind students of the importance of face-to-face or
personal ways to interact in the market.

on them. Moreover, the researchers employed a qualitative data collection method.
