Research Interests
My research focuses on the managerial implications of different aspects of ethical consumerism. Although there are strong indications that many consumers are now switching towards ethical products, reflecting the rise of socially responsible consumption indicated in several countries, little is known about the drivers and outcomes of consumer ethical choices. Moreover, while consumers have been surveyed to some extent regarding their perceptions of ethical/unethical consumer practices, research has been minimal with regard to their perceptions of corporate ethicality. So, my work partially addresses these gaps in the previous studies by investigating both environmental and social aspects of ethical consumerism and what it implies for managers. Specifically, my research identifies the factors that influence consumer environmental attitudes and behaviour; examines the outcomes of consumer perceptions of business unethicality; investigates consumer attitude toward organisational unethical behaviour; and, finally, examines country-of-origin effect on consumer perceptions of products, associated marketing unethicality, and buying and using preferences.
