Abstract

This paper describes a survey of consumer behavior for online shopping, especially online music services, because they are the most popular online shopping service in Japan. Based on Howard's consumer decision model, questionnaires about decision making for online music services were given to 282 students. The questionnaire results show that almost 90% of these students have downloaded from online music services, and high school students use such services slightly more than university students.
