網路團購是新興的團購模式,網路團購的交易商機及成長潛力更不容小覷。因此,許多業者紛紛建置各式團購網站平台以搶佔一席之地。然而,檢視過去有關網路團購的文獻發現,許多文獻在探討網路團購的動機、影響網路團購的因素與網路口碑效應等,較少文獻從資訊揭露的角度出發來探討搜尋成本、信任與團購意願之間的關係。因此,本研究以問卷調查法來深入探討團購網站的資訊揭露對於使用者的搜尋成本、信任與其團購意願之間的相互關係。在資料蒐集部份,本研究採取立意抽樣方式,問卷發放的研究對象則以曾購買過團購網站商品或服務的顧客為對象,問卷發放的方式係透過網路問卷方式,總計回收有效問卷201份。研究結果顯示團購網站之資訊揭露對於節省消費者的搜尋成本與團購的意願皆有顯著的正向影響;信任對於節省消費者的搜尋成本與團購的意願皆有顯著的正向影響;而節省消費者的搜尋成本對團購意願亦具有顯著的正向影響。最後,本研究提出提升消費者團購意願的具體建議,以供團購網站業者做為未來行銷策略之參考。
