RESUMO

The growth of the Internet over the last years as a sales channel and as a relationship channel between companies and its costumers has ultimately made it one of the main bets of the largest retail chains for achieving business growth and for increasing their operating performance. In this context, the objective of this dissertation is to provide a contribution to the knowledge development in the area by researching the buyers behavior in Brasil, specifically some of the motivators and inhibitors elements of the online purchase, along with its correlation to other related aspects, such as purchase frequency, medium satisfaction on purchase, and key demographics of the online buyer. In order to reach these goals, a literature review has been conducted over consumer behavior references as well as empiric studies more specifically oriented to the dissertation discussion area. A quantitative field research has also been conducted with 238 Brazilian Internet users, with the main purpose of comparing the survey results to the literature review findings. The study results indicate the existence of different importance levels among the determing elements of the purchase mean (to be highlighted the importance of the price and easy access factors), besides pointing out positive and significative correlations between the intensity of Internet usage and purchase behavior; and between online purchases satisfaction and future purchase intention.
