recomendaciones de líderes de opinión, reseñas de consumidores, influencia social, diseño experimental, experiencia de compra onlineResumen
Las recomendaciones de líderes de opinión (OL' eWOM) y las reseñas de consumidores en línea (OCR) son las dos formas más importantes de conocer nuevas marcas en Internet. Esta investigación analizó qué fuente proporciona información más creíble: OL' eWOM u OCR. Una muestra de 146 estudiantes universitarios se dividió aleatoriamente en tres grupos (OL, OCR, Grupo de control) en un experimento en línea. Los datos fueron analizados con un Análisis no Paramétrico de Varianza con prueba Omnibus Kruskal- Wallis entre grupos. Los resultados evidenciaron que los OCR son una fuente de información más útil que OL' eWOM, y cuando se incluyó la experiencia de compra del consumidor, esta influencia es aún más fuerte. Los consumidores con menos experiencia de compra online pueden verse influenciados por las OL' eWOM.
