The Perceived Risks of Electronic Shopping A Survey of a Sample of Students and Employees at Mazoon College in the Sultanate of Oman

E-shopping is available to anyone in the world to buy everything they need in their daily lives. However, shopping through the Internet may not be acceptable to some people because of the lack of assurance of the goods advertised on the Internet in terms of quality and efficiency of use as well as the risk of confidence in the data available through the Internet and confidence in those who offer goods or services for sale. So online shopping has not yet matured comparing to the traditional shopping. The present study aims at identifying the perceived risks of e-shopping for customers as defined by the employees working in the Sultanate of Oman.
