The purposes of the study are (1) to compare the shopping orientations among Chinese, Filipino and Japanese shoppers; and (2) their willingness to purchase a specific product classification (either hand tools or kitchen utensils) from nine different purchasing sources. Data (N=684) were collected via a questionnaire from a convenience sample of 1,000 respondents. The results of the study indicate that Asian shoppers do not differ much in terms of their shopping orientations except for a few situations. Asian shoppers were also found not to differ much in their willingness to purchase from different purchasing sources. Implications for marketing and practice are discussed.
