Abstract: Nowadays, the internet and its associated technologies have created a low-cost and efficient means for businesses to build an electronic sales channel such as e-commerce. Despite the expeditious development of this approach, the contributions of e-commerce towards the mobile phone market are not efficiently utilised. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the behaviour of mobile phone customers in the e-commerce market and cluster the prioritised segments. First, we conduct a short review of literature among the 28 related researches to determine the appropriate factors and techniques. Then, the meaningful factors are adjusted into corresponding items for the questionnaire. Eventually, the data gathered from 339 undergraduate students in Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City are analysed by k-means clustering and attached meaningful representation for the four cluster groups. Overall, the study applies cluster analysis in both mobile phone and e-commerce markets, then interprets four distinct customer groups with managerial implications.

Keywords: data mining; mobile phone market; e-commerce; internet shopping; market segmentation; cluster analysis; k-means; customer relationship management; customer segmentation; segmentation analysis. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
