Year 2012, Volume: 13 Issue: 2, 266 - 274, 01.07.2012

Abstract

Satın almakarar sürecinde tüketiciler veri kaynağı olarak birçok unsuru kullanmaktadır. Sosyal bir varlık olmanın getirdiği dürtü ve teknolojide yaşanan gelişmeler satın alım karar sürecinde ağızdan ağıza iletişimi ön plana çıkarmış ve söz konusu iletişimin çevrimiçi gerçekleştirilmesine olanak sağlamıştır. Bu çalışma, bu noktadan hareketle, turizm endüstrisine odaklanmakta ve tatil satın alım davranışları üzerinde diğer müşteriler tarafından oluşturulan görüşlerin etkisini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın veri toplama sürecinde ülkenin en eski ve en çok kullanılan tatil web sitelerinden olan tatilsepeti.com’dan yararlanılmıştır. Veri analizi evresinde yarı-logaritmik model kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçları müşteri görüşlerinin satın alım karar süreci üzerindeki etkisinin altını çizmektedir.
