Abstract: Abstract: Today, the firms have paid much attention to WOM (word of mouth). The author finds by experimental study that the expertise and similarity of the WOM source, the tie strength between the WOM communicator and receiver all have significant positive influence on the consumer’s brand switching intention and the subjective norm under the collectivism cultural background in our county. The subjective norm has partly mediated role in the process which the WOM influences consumer’s brand switching intention. In the end, we have discussed the managerial implication of these results.
