Abstract

This article examines consumers’ perceptions of search and shopping intentions, at different levels of discounts across two different shopping environments – traditional ‘brick and mortar’ and the internet. An experiment was conducted to examine the proposed hypotheses and the results indicate that while search intention is not different in the two environments, shopping intention of the consumers differ at varying discount levels. © 2006 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
