內(nèi)容介紹：
With the increasing popularity of social media such as, microblogs and online reviews, over 70% of consumers rely on social networks to guide purchase decisions (ODM, 2014). Prior research has struggled to determine whether social influence affects consideration, choice, or both. In this study, we focus on how consumers’ consideration and choice decisions are influenced by two different types of information: normative information and persuasive information. We also examine how social network structure moderates the impact of the two types of information on consumer decisions. Utilizing a large panel data set collected from Douban, one of the largest social network site in China, we find that two types of information have different impacts on consumers’ consideration set formation versus final choice decisions.
