Introduction

Digital commerce has created new research questions concerning how consumers discover products, evaluate information and interact with brands. Online reviews and social-media communication are particularly relevant because consumers can encounter opinions, promotional messages and localized content before making purchasing decisions. Divya’s listed research addresses these developments through studies situated in Chennai, connecting consumer behaviour with online shopping and social-media communication. The documented work therefore falls within established research interests in marketing, consumer studies and business management.

Research Profile

The available profile records three documents and identifies Business, Management and Accounting as the subject area. The publications collectively indicate an applied research orientation focused on contemporary consumer and marketing environments. The research setting of Chennai provides a geographically defined context for examining online purchasing behaviour, social-media reviews and consumer responses to global brand communication.

  • Digital consumer behaviour and online shopping.
  • Customer perception of social-media reviews.
  • Glocalization in global brand advertising.

Research Contributions

The first documented study investigates online shopping trends and consumer behaviour in Chennai, addressing the development of digital purchasing practices. The second examines customers’ perceptions of reviews on social media, focusing on how review information relates to consumer decision-making. The third considers social-media captioning as a tool for glocalization in global brand advertising and examines its relationship with consumer perception and loyalty. Together, these topics connect digital platforms with practical questions in marketing and consumer research.
