Abstract

This study employs the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model as its theoretical framework to systematically analyze the consumer behavior mechanisms and evolutionary pathways of traditional commerce, traditional e-commerce, and new e-commerce. The research findings reveal that traditional commerce reinforces consumer trust and immediate decision-making through multi-dimensional physical stimuli, yet faces survival challenges due to disadvantages in price transparency and cost pressures. Traditional e-commerce improves efficiency through technological interface innovations but struggles with rationality-dominated trust crises and insufficient user retention. In contrast, new e-commerce reconstructs the stimulus system through content-driven, social, and algorithm-powered strategies, achieving breakthroughs via emotional resonance and demand-creation logic. Future commercial competition will revolve around the synergy between technological depth and human-centric warmth, manifesting as online-offline integration, trust reconstruction, and ecosystem-level convergence. The study uncovers the evolutionary shift in consumer demand from functional rationality to emotional value, providing theoretical support and practical insights for business model innovation.
