Abstract
The aim of the study is to investigate why information about products, brands or organizations is
generated among consumers online and what influences the initiation of online word-of-mouth
(WOM) from the sender‟s perspective. An exploratory study was conducted involving eighteen
semi-structured interviews with Chinese consumers face-to-face and online. The findings
presented factors that influence consumers‟ engagement of online WOM and revealed the impact
of personal cultural orientation on their WOM communication. Further research is required to
produce more generalisable results.
