    Promoting the advocacy behavior of customers through corporate social responsibility: The role of brand admiration.Naveed Ahmad, Zia Ullah, Esra AlDhaen & Irfan Siddique - 2023 - Business and Society Review 128 (2):367-386.
    Given that personal source of information is preferred by the customers over company-generated marketing communications, promoting advocacy behavior among customers is of much importance for every organization. Literature suggests that an organization's corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities significantly influence individual behavior. However, the advocacy behavior of customers (ADB), from a CSR perspective, did not receive due attention. To address this literature gap, the current study attempts to explore the relationship among CSR and ADB with the intervening role of brand admiration (...)

    A heuristic perspective on factors that drive governments' approval of genetically modified crop commercialization.Lailani L. Alcantara & Nir Kshetri - 2023 - Business and Society Review 128 (2):305-329.
    While there is abundant research on innovations, we know little about why and when the commercialization of highly contested innovations, such as genetically modified (GM) crops, is approved by governments. In this paper, we argue that governments' decision to approve the commercialization of GM crops is influenced by heuristics based on the decisions of other governments with which they have greater trade, the gap between country performance and aspiration, and governments' prior decisions on GM crops field trials. We further propose (...)

    Sustainable marketing: an exploratory study of a sustain‐centric, versus profit‐centric, approach.Bruno Dyck, Rajesh V. Manchanda, Savanna Vagianos & Michèle Bernardin - 2023 - Business and Society Review 128 (2):195-216.
    As the need for business to address pressing social and ecological issues intensifies, so does the importance of enhancing the development of sustainable marketing. The current dominant approach to sustainable marketing is based on a Triple Bottom Line (TBL) profit‐centric worldview, which suggests that firms can simultaneously improve their financial well‐being as they reduce negative social and ecological externalities. However, whereas the scope of TBL marketing is limited to sustainability initiatives that enhance profits, there is a growing need for—and interest (...)

    Systems design thinking for social innovation: a learning perspective.Bowon Kim - 2023 - Business and Society Review 128 (2):217-250.
    We define social innovation as strategic decision making to improve social conditions and facilitate social changes in a desirable direction by dealing with crucial issues and solving fundamental societal problems. This paper proposes a framework that enables the decision maker to implement social innovation effectively. The framework consists of three influential theories or ways of thinking, that is, design thinking, systems thinking, and learning organization. This paper shows how these three approaches can be integrated to tackle a critical social problem (...)

    The focus of this study was to assess the mediating effect of green innovation, in the relationship between green human resources management (GHRM) and organizational competitiveness of manufacturing multinational enterprises (MNEs). The study further looked at the moderating effect of organizational learning in the relationship between GHRM on organizational competitiveness of manufacturing MNEs. The population comprises manufacturing MNEs in Ghana. Through purposive and simple random sampling techniques, 231 manufacturing MNEs were selected for the study. Data was analyzed using frequencies, percentages, (...)

    Small but powerful—local value chains and sustainability‐oriented approaches in the agri‐food sector.Susanne Royer & Maike Simon - 2023 - Business and Society Review 128 (2):331-366.
    Regional and local value creation is seen as one solution for reducing the environmental impact of the agri‐food system. The point of reference for this research is the powerless position of small actors in agri‐food chains. This paper gives insights into the motivation of small‐scale producers in developed countries to exit national and export markets and to opt for a sustainability orientation. Specifically, we explore how the powerlessness of small actors in global value chains may fuel the formation of regional (...)

    Mapping the intellectual linkage of sustainability in marketing.Yating Tian & Qeis Kamran - 2023 - Business and Society Review 128 (2):251-274.
    This study explores the status quo regarding the interface between marketing, social and environmental issues, culture and consumers, and strategic management by integrating sustainability. A qualitative display network technique, based on the bibliometric methodology of co-citation analysis, was applied to examine research clusters. An integrative review was conducted to explain the connections within these clusters. To evaluate potential patterns among the studies through citations, different sets of relationships among applicable sustainability theories in marketing practice were paired in different sets and (...)

    To behave or not to behave ethically: A question of style?Gentrit Berisha, Luciana Oliveira & Edon Humolli - 2023 - Business and Society Review 128 (1):23-50.
    What makes people behave ethically continues to be at the forefront of business ethics research. The stylistic makeup of the decision-maker has been suspected to influence individual ethical behavior; however, this body of research accounts only for a handful of studies. This paper investigates the influence of decision-making styles as an individual difference on unethical behavior, independently from other personal characteristics. Covering a sample of 230 managers, we utilize the preeminent measures of these two constructs in a self-report survey. Our (...)

    From organizations as systems of ocean destruction to organizations as systems of ocean thriving.Heloise Berkowitz - 2023 - Business and Society Review 128 (1):71-94.
    Despite growing awareness around human impacts on marine ecosystems, little action is taken to reduce the negative effects of organizations on the ocean, thus increasing risks of global collapse. In this paper, I argue that organizations act as systems of ocean destruction, and I explore how to operate a shift to organizations as systems of ocean conservation and thriving, enabling human–ocean socio‐ecological coviability. To do so, I analyze the organizational affordances of the ocean: incommensurability, open access and complex property regimes, (...)

    Developing a framework for determining when a company should introduce a new ethical norm.Muel Kaptein - 2023 - Business and Society Review 128 (1):3-22.
    When should a company introduce a new ethical norm? This article uses the value-belief-norm theory to argue that the more an ethical issue threatens a company's ethical value and the more the company has an ethical responsibility to protect such value against such threat, then the more desirable it is for a company to establish ethical norms to protect said value. Distinguishing seven characteristics of an ethical issue and four conditions for a company's ethical responsibility helps identify the situations in (...)

    Willingness to receive and provide resources in Europe's non‐remunerated and remunerated collaborative consumption.Filip Majetić & Rodrigo Perez-Vega - 2023 - Business and Society Review 128 (1):51-69.
    Rooted in theory of planned behavior (TPB) supplemented with self-determination theory (SDT), this study explores determinants of willingness to receive and provide resources in Europe's non-remunerated and remunerated collaborative consumption (CC). The exploration was conducted within a single research model by assessing the role of (a) TPB constructs reflecting attitude towards participation in CC, perceived social pressure to engage, and perceived level of difficulty that engagement requires and (b) SDT constructs of environmental, social, and economic motives for participation. The data (...)

    Women entrepreneurship: Mumpreneurs cruising the COVID‐19 pandemic in Indonesia.Jacob Donald Tan & John Lee Kean Yew - 2023 - Business and Society Review 128 (1):133-168.
    Learning from experiences is key towards the discovery of enterprising knowledge for mumpreneurs in emerging economies such as Indonesia, where most of the entrepreneurship literature is still relatively scant. In discussing entrepreneurial learning of entrepreneurs who are in motherhood, also known as mumpreneurs, these studies require the consideration of gender distinction of women. The term “mumpreneurs” refers to women who embrace the identity of a mother and an entrepreneur, and these two identities engender role conflicts for them. Thus, this phenomenology (...)
