  1. Deterring Unethical Behaviors in Marketing Channels: The Role of Distributor Whistleblowing.Jing Zhou, Shibin Sheng & Chuang Zhang - 2021 - Journal of Business Ethics 181 (1):97-115.
    AbstractIn marketing channels, distributor whistleblowing can deter unethical behaviors, though little academic research investigates this tactic. Drawing on whistleblowing literature in business ethics and organizational theory, as well as field interviews with channel managers, this article identifies and elucidates the notion of distributor whistleblowing in marketing channels.
