Abstract

Horizontal and vertical disposition styles are two main formats used in product comparison service on e-commerce websites. In this research, we hypothesize that there is a fit between product type ('think' vs. 'feel' product) and disposition style (horizontal vs. vertical style), where horizontal disposition style is more appropriate for 'feel' products and vertical disposition style is a better fit for 'think' products. An experiment will be carried out to test the hypotheses.
