  • Shea, Linda J.

Abstract

"Consumer Perceived Ethicality" presents a framework of perceived consumer ethicality as summarized from in-depth interviews with 20 citizens of the United Kingdom and Germany. The framework identifies six broad domains and 36 sub-items (6 for each domain) that serve as examples of consumer-generated "unethical corporate behaviors." This commentary highlights the contributions, discusses the limitations and presents an alternative perspective on the study of consumer perceived ethicality.
