Abstract

The purpose of this research is to use data collected from a survey to investigate the interactions between young consumers and products/services on social media sites, in particular on Facebook. Young consumers are considered as computer literate and use the Internet more than any other generation. It will be beneficial for the companies to understand their buying behaviours, product/service recommendations, as they are the future shoppers. While the technology is developing, the companies must realize the importance of eWOM (word-of-mouth) in the future e-business. The result will give the companies a clearer understanding on how to change and evolve their marketing strategy so they can adapt to this fast-forward thinking generation.
