Abstract
Previous research shows that there is a positive relationship between
Internet users and online shoppers in most markets. Yet while online
usage has nearly doubled in Hong Kong in recent years, the adoption of
online shopping has been relatively slow. This study examines the attitudinal,
demographic and behavioural characteristics of Hong Kong online
users. This study partially confirms previous findings in that attitude
towards online shopping and the intention to purchase online are higher
among males under 45. Importantly, previous online purchasing suggests
no differences in adoption between males and females.
