Erita Yuliasesti Diahsari & Hayu Lestari. “Online Shopping in
Students: Shopping at the Cross-road. “
People and online shopping is inseparable today due to the
convenience the information technology provides. The trend of online
shopping is increasing especially in students. Their main task is studying
but they also want to shop and some of them do it to an unhealthy degree
due to the availability of various online shopping media. Research on
students’ online shopping behavior in several major cities in Indonesia
shows the strong impact of the information technology on their access
into the e-commerce which often results in their being consumptive
shoppers. Efforts to minimize the negative impact of online shopping
in students may be taken by the teaching staff in the higher education
institutions by inserting the values of simplicity and healthy shopping
in their teaching as well as by their peers through showing the way to
be good consumers.
