The findings show that young Danes are more familiar with online shopping and buying and view it more positively than do young Estonians. This is well reflected by the fact that Estonians focus mainly on the risks of online shopping, expressing various forms of distrust, while young Danes tend to emphasize benefits. Yet, both countries’ respondents show more confidence in regular shops with face-to-face contact than in online stores which are considered to be abstract and dis- embedded. Differences in representations of online shopping are related to a complex set of system and agential resources: different cultural contexts, institutional and economic factors and social networks.application/pdfH Social Sciences (General)Internetinfoühiskondtarbimisühiskondostminee-kaubandusnooredeestlasedtaanlasedmagistritöödThesis
