Abstract

Based on a three-country survey, this paper compares and identifies which motivators to engage in online and off-line word of mouth play a significant role in motivating people to engage in referral behaviour. While both types of WOM have a common foundation in that satisfaction with the product is important; online WOM is more likely to occur if the product has a novelty value or the message is entertaining. The paper contests the often obliquely made conjecture that online and off-line WOM are identical.
