Full textAbstract:
Ethical fashion consumers are essential for growing the ethical fashion sector as their purchasing decisions and experiences are influenced by ethical concerns. Reducing excess packaging and materials is where ethical consumerism and business ethics intersect. Examining factors that affect ethical procurement behaviour and the interpretation of ethical consumption can provide insight into how to promote sustainability in the fashion industry. This study aims to identify the concept of ethical consumption of sustainable fashion to achieve sustainability in Saudi Arabia's fashion industry. It also evaluates the potential to raise Saudi consumers' awareness of sustainable fashion. This aligns with Saudi Vision 2030's goal of building a sustainable economy. Introducing the concept of sustainability in fashion and its importance to the environment can increase society's awareness of ethical consumption and sustainable fashion and its impact on purchasing behaviours. Using an analytical descriptive approach, the study surveyed 259 Saudi consumers. The results found that many respondents lack comprehensive knowledge of ethical consumption and sustainable fashion, indicating a need for educational initiatives. Despite limited understanding, respondents' religious ethics influence their purchase decisions, demonstrating a tendency toward environmentally conscious purchases. To ensure effectiveness, the study recommends creating educational programs and awareness campaigns about sustainable fashion and ethical consumption tailored to Saudi Arabia's cultural and religious context. This could help improve consumers' knowledge while leveraging their existing ethical values to promote more sustainable purchasing behaviours.

Full textAbstract:
Important factors in a company related to ethical issues have an impact on consumer purchasing decisions. The relationship between the application of business ethics and purchasing decisions has been studied by several researchers. The impact of a business ethic and purchasing decisions and customer satisfaction depends on culture. The culture of ethnicity will form its own characteristics in the business that is carried out; it will impact how a consumer views the business which has an impact on satisfaction in purchasing. Culture also that can be seen from the ethnicity of the business owner will make customers consider buying products from a place of business. Therefore, the study wants to reveal how the visible culture or ethnicity can make customers satisfied to buy at a particular business. In addition, this study also aims to reveal how ethnicity can distinguish the relationshipship between ethical behavior and consumer satisfaction in making purchases. The methodology of the study is the content analysis method by conducting a content analysis on literature studies to obtain the results of the discussion of the selected variables. This study explores previous research related to building initial hypotheses without empirical data collection. The research results found that there is a relationshipship between ethnicity and consumer satisfaction. There are several opportunities to extend this study. This study could also be conducted by including motivation variables to moderate the relationship between ethnicity and customer satisfaction.

In this paper an empirical investigation is reported of the attitudes of purchasing managers to the degree of wrongness of a range of ethically problematical issues and what the corresponding punishment should be for these actions. The study found a significant difference between what purchasing managers believe is wrong and how willing they are to punish transgressors. It is suggested that the largest difference between a wrongful action and its punishment occurs when the action is clearly wrong, but the financial impact upon the employer is minor. The paper concludes by suggesting areas for future research that could explore why there is a difference between a crime and its associated punishment.

Full textAbstract:
Much attention has been given to how we can make consumption more responsible—better for the planet and society. However, research on the associations between consumer purchasing behavior and their psychological concern for health, the environment and ethics lacks consensus on the significance and directionality of these concerns. This study aims to examine how (relatively) important these concerns are in determining consumer purchasing behavior. Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, EconLit, Web of Science and Scopus databases from 2000 to 2020. Results were summarized through narrative synthesis of the evidence and meta-analysis. The meta-analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between health, environmental and ethical concerns and purchasing behavior, indicating that changes in health, environmental and ethical concerns will result in a consistent shift in purchase behavior towards choices consistent with the concern. This association is susceptible to moderating factors including types of products (food, non-food and non-specific products) and country’s level of economic development. In addition, the health, environmental and ethical concerns appear to have a weaker impact on the actual purchase behavior than on purchase intention, suggesting that interventions should focus on translating these “purchasing intentions” into actual purchasing behaviors. Narrative review of the studies that were not subject to meta-analysis showed good agreement, with almost all relationships reported having the same direction as those indicated by the meta-analysis. Overall, this study suggests that there is substantial potential for marketing strategies aimed at encouraging pro-health, pro-environment and ethical purchasing behaviors.

Full textAbstract:
Discussion towards an understanding about ethical and social responsible corporate behaviours has increased over last two decades. Both marketers and academicians emphasize the interest of the topic. Developed research has been focusing the understanding of a few organizational practices, but consumer’s dyad of the problem calls for further investigation. This work presents some of the main theoretical contributions about consumer ethics, emphasizing the way how purchase attitude may be influenced by consumers’ perceptions about firms’ behaviour. The study aims to fill two important gaps in the burgeoning literature on marketing ethics: by looking at the consumer side of the marketing exchange dyad, and comparing consumer perspectives on ethics across cultures. As such, levels of consumer ethical awareness and expectations, and their impact on purchasing behaviours are measured in the contexts of Portugal and Cape Verde, one of its former colonies in Africa. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses were developed.

Marketing to a targeted minority can provide a competitive advantage for an organization. However, there are ethical and legal concerns that must be carefully evaluated. Youth, children, and protected minorities, including women and the elderly, are a high target of advertising because of the increasing importance of these segments in making purchasing decisions. Recent population and demographic factors continue to impact marketing to address minority marketing issues with careful attention to ethics and social responsibility. This paper examines ethical concerns of advertising, the use of animated spokes-characters, marketplace discrimination, misleading practices, ethical concerns in minority marketing, and related advertising regulations. The authors conclude with recommendations for future research and implications for advertising and marketing practice. Policy implications are made for socially responsible advertising and marketing.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the underlying corporate social responsibility (CSR) factors which trigger consumers’ scrutiny of corporate behavior in the purchasing experience. There is more focus on how the direct effects of CSR can predict consumer behavior than the expression of value-based purchasing habits, especially in relation to how the multidimensionality of consumers’ expectations of CSR indirectly informs such behavior. Design/methodology/approach Mall-intercept survey interviews were conducted with 411 shoppers across five shopping malls in South Africa. Data were based on the emotional, social and functional values consumers derive from the purchasing experience vis-à-vis economic, legal, ethical and philanthropic expectations of CSR and analyzed using the path analysis technique of structural equation modeling. Findings It was found that the relationship between consumers’ sense of value and purchasing behavior is mediated by perceived fulfillment of legal expectations of CSR (a primary redressing tool). Conversely, the fulfillment of ethical and economic CSR expectations (secondary redressing tools) serves as moderators of the relationship. Research limitations/implications The benefit of approaching corporate communication from a value-based perspective is a proactive risk mitigation strategy. Consumers’ sense of value in the purchasing experience is triggered by companies’ adherence to institutionalized law on corporate behavior and reinforced by compliance to code of ethics and financial viability. Practical implications This study offers insights for understanding how consumers redress corporate misconduct during crisis through the buying experience and explains how such understanding can be used to better predict and manage crisis communication. Social implications The findings of this study suggest that CSR and corporate communication practices should be informed by the taken-for-granted assumptions which underpin espoused consumer values, where negligence of unspoken patterns of CSR-based consumer behavior could signal a crisis risk. Originality/value This study offers a model which demonstrates for the first time that consumers implicitly utilize CSR to redress corporate misconduct in the purchasing experience.

Full textAbstract:
Today, brands and businesses widely use social media ads to reach targeted customers. Therefore, examining the effect of social media advertisements on consumers' purchasing decisions stands out as an essential research topic. For this reason, it is crucial to reveal the factors that are effective in the purchasing behaviour of consumers in advertisements made on social media. In the light of these facts, effects of the ad credibility, perceived personalisation, ethics of social media advertising, attitude towards social media advertising variables on social shopping intention and the moderating effects of gender, age and educational status were examined. The research gathered data from 421 individuals living in Kocaeli via a questionnaire technique, and the obtained data were analysed using hierarchical regression tests. Findings of the analysis indicate that ad credibility, ethics of social media advertising and attitude towards social media advertising positively affect social shopping intention. Furthermore, age was found to have a moderating role between social shopping intention and ethics of social media advertising and attitude towards social media advertising. In contrast, educational status was found to have a moderating role between social shopping intention and ad credibility and attitude towards social media advertising. This study is expected to clarify the factors for the social shopping intention with demographic differences.

This paper investigates the determinants of purchasing decision of Tokopedia e-commerce consumers with Gen-Z as a sample. This paper refers to Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as theoretical framework, where the indicators use in this study combines both convenient matter in purchasing at e-commerce such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and marketing matters from both digital and non-digital marketing i.e., Islamic Marketing Ethics (IME). This paper employs Structural Equation Model-Pooled Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results show that AI and Digital Marketing (DM) have positive and significant relationship to influence consumers’ decision to purchase in Tokopedia. Meanwhile, IME has positive but non-significant relationship with purchase decision. This paper argues that this is due to the respondents’ knowledge of Sharia compliance in e-commerce transaction and lack of IME indicators socialization by Tokopedia, where Tokopedia already implement some indicators of IME in their feature such as Halal Corner. The result expects to contribute to development of theoretical and practical implication, particularly on Marketing matters both digital and Islamic marketing ethics.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for clean beauty to form and grow a category in Korea's cosmetic industry by studying the effect of clean beauty products awareness on the purchasing behavior and satisfaction. This study conducted an online survey targeting Korean adult women in their 20s to 50s. The results of the study on ‘The Effect of Clean Beauty Products Awareness on the Purchasing Behavior and Satisfaction’ are as follows. First, the awareness of clean beauty products was found to be above average, and it was analyzed that the ratio of recognizing the difference from general cosmetics was high, and interest in clean beauty products was increased compared to the past. As a global trend, clean beauty has emerged as a keyword, and this trend has also affected Korea, suggesting that domestic female consumers' interest in clean beauty has increased. Second, as for the purchasing behavior of clean beauty products, it was found that the higher the awareness of ingredients and ethical consciousness among the perceptions of clean beauty products, the higher the purchasing behavior was. This is considered to be a result of the fact that the importance of the ingredients of consumers has been continuously increasing, and the interest in ethical awareness has recently been highlighted. Third, as a result of analyzing satisfaction with clean beauty products, it was found to have a higher score than average. In addition, it was found that the higher the perception of clean beauty products, the higher the awareness of ingredients, the awareness of ethics, and the awareness of eco-friendliness, the higher the satisfaction. In conclusion, it is necessary to establish a marketing strategy from the product planning stage in consideration of allergen-inducing ingredients in the ingredient category, the exclusion of animal testing in the ethical awareness category, and carbon emission reduction in the eco-friendly category.

Full textAbstract:
While the prevalence of ethical consumerism has pressured small businesses to embrace ethical behaviour, in ethically precarious business conditions the relentless pursuit for profit by small businesses may compel them to compromise their moral values. As such, a tacit struggle may persist between such businesses’ strategic orientations (e.g. profitability, improved performance) and demands of ethically conscious consumers. Drawing on ethics theory, this study explored the influence of the ethical conduct of small fast food outlets on buying intentions of customers. A survey was conducted on 116 probabilistically sampled customers of an indigenous owned fast-food outlet in two cities in Zimbabwe. Findings suggest that customers considered ethical conduct of business ventures when making their purchase decisions although it was unclear whether ethical consumers persistently maintained their buying decisions (i.e. purchasing ethically made products). Ethical business practices, however, remained an enduring feature of enterprises striving to optimise their profit motives.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainability is a central challenge of the fashion industry. In an era where Internet and social networks allow information to spread quickly, more consumers are familiar with the call for “ethical fashion” as disasters such as Rana Plaza resound worldwide. However, consumers interested in buying “ethical” clothing could have a hard time orienting themselves amongst the abundance of brands claiming to be ethical on the market. Consumers might make purchasing decisions based on their knowledge of a brand. In this context, it is imaginable that corporate social responsibility (CSR) communications, including codes of ethics, could constitute one way a consumer can learn more about a company’s values. These codes may serve a variety of purposes—they are undoubtedly one of the ways a brand communicates its commitment to ethical principles. Indeed, by analyzing the codes of ethics of some of the industry’s well-known brands, it is evident that they primarily focus on employment and workers’ rights (including equality and discrimination issues), labor safety standards, bribery and anti-corruption, counterfeiting and unfair business practices, as well as respect for (and sometimes improvement of) the environment. A company’s code of ethics is also a powerful tool for improving brand image by adopting a code that responds to the issues that consumers care about. It is therefore necessary to distinguish between companies that are truly ethical and those that merely appear so. In order to protect consumer confidence in such documents, a fil rouge across legal systems may be found (although the specific characteristics may vary greatly) in the laws that protect consumers from misleading advertising.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Consumers consider various factors when purchasing because of consumer awareness. Increasingly, consumer behaviors are influenced by corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. This study comprehensively investigates the relationships of antecedents and consequences of CSR from consumer perceptions. CSR ethics statements and financial performance are the antecedents in this study. The effects of the relationships among consumers’ perception of CSR and consumer satisfaction, perceived corporate reputation, perceived risk, as well as consumer loyalty are the consequences. The findings suggest that perceived CSR was affected by perceived quality of ethics; therefore, corporations should emphasize an internal ethics statement and establish their CSR image to increase consumer satisfaction, enhance the corporate reputation, reduce perceived risk, and form a positive link between corporations and consumers. In addition, the findings reveal that significant relationships were observed among consumer satisfaction, corporate reputation, and perceived risk, which affect consumer loyalty.</p>

Product sampling in the retail chains relates to marketing, it makes part of the in-store marketing, and it is one of the sale promotion tools. It used to promote the sales of non-durable products, i.e. food. The paper aimed to find out how it is perceived by customers of retail chains (consumers) in Slovakia. An essential aspect of the sampling effectiveness was verified, namely the addressing of potential customers by the promoters. The article focused on ethical practices during the samplings. The subject of interest was to confirm whether promoters keep basic ethical and moral principles. The repeated request for sampling was one of the points. The vital aspect of the sampling ethics was also considered as well as the truthfulness of customer responses to promoter questions about the taste of the product. The sampling ethics was judged from both viewpoints of the sampling participants. The questionnaire survey was carried out to meet the goal, and the sampling participants were addressed. The online questionnaire method was applied, in which 484 respondents were directed. The survey results have shown that customers perceive samplings positively. Sampling has found its application in Slovakia, and it is a relatively accessible tool for promotion of sales (also from the viewpoint of producers). The promoter is the major contributor to the number of participating customers. The main aspects influencing the level of sampling ethics are the age and gender of the customers. It is believed that at any time, it is appropriate to verify the ethics of one of the sales promotion tools – sampling, and at the same time to find out how customers perceive it. The paper contributes to the area of in-store marketing. It brings findings focused on the popularity of the sampling in practice, purchasing habits of the customers, and at the same time, it opens a space for further improvements. Keywords sampling, sampling perception, sampling ethics, customers, promoters.

The economic and political outcomes of market globalization continue to be complex. As international corporations engage developing markets, they increasingly find consumers who lack market sophistication, meaningful purchasing options and economic leverage. Such conditions are ripe for the exploitation of these market segments but also can be mitigated by enlightened managers willing to thoughtfully consider their ethical and professional obligations to vulnerable consumers. This paper builds on a normative ethical framework, labeled the integrative justice model (IJM) for impoverished markets that was introduced in the marketing and public policy literature. Specifically, the paper will extend the normative ethics of the IJM by proposing logically reasoned decision principles for managers, particularly in MNC subsidiaries, that might better shape ethical business strategy when targeting impoverished segments. Additionally, numerous case examples are given to illustrate how a number of these decision principles are already being applied by companies around the world. Such an approach can serve as a counterweight to the difficulty of crafting global regulations for market development.

Advertising has become a critical success factor for companies. In the case of dental products, consumers primarily consider the benefits of the product before purchasing. However, there are other relevant factors in consumer interaction with the dental advertising. The aim of this article is to present the results of research on advertising and its influence on purchasing decisions of products and / or dental services. Several authors have identified factors related to successful ads, some speak about creativity and others give importance to brand management, among others. Dentists found that consumers are generally receptive to the use of advertising. Advertising can be a powerful tool for recruiting future patients and to ensure current patients, but the precepts required by dental ethics code must be respected. It is necessary further research about the implications of advertising in dental services.

This research explores the intricate relationship between corporate ethics, social responsibility (CSR), brand association, and brand loyalty in the context of the dynamic Chinese market. Chinese consumers exhibit an increasing awareness of and enthusiasm for CSR initiatives, seeking information on ethical and social practices when making purchasing decisions. Strong brand association significantly influences brand loyalty, with consumers choosing brands that align with their values, including CSR values. The interplay between CSR and brand association is dynamic and positively impacts brand loyalty. The findings highlight the significance of aligning CSR initiatives with local values, effective storytelling, and consistency in CSR engagement for brands operating in China. Understanding generational dynamics and the unique dynamics in the Chinese market is crucial. Brands embracing CSR as a strategic necessity foster lasting brand loyalty in this consumer-driven market.

It is undeniable that health care costs have been increasing at an alarming rate. During the ten-year period between 1983 and 1993, the medical care component of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose at an average annual rate of 10 percent while the overall CPI increased by only 4.5 percent per year. These dramatic increases have obvious societal implications. For those without health insurance, a serious illness may mean personal bankruptcy. For those with health insurance coverage, premiums are rising while coverage is shrinking. Employers are struggling to continue providing health insurance to their employees. Irrespective of whose fault it really is, much of the blame has been directed at health care providers.Faced with mounting criticism regarding the costs of delivering health care, the industry struck back. It claimed that collaboration—not competition—was necessary to reduce health care costs and improve efficiency, but that antitrust uncertainty deterred such collaborative efforts.

Full textAbstract:
Banking plays a decisive part in civilization in the twenty first century. It enables operations and transactions between persons, businesses, and other institutions in an economy through its functions. The modern banking facilities are a prerequisite to meeting fundamental expectations such as purchasing a house or even earning salaries from employers. A change in the way people deal with money has been inspired by the banking account where people are invited to put their money on a bank account instead of putting it under a mattress. Banks have developed a strong reputation around checking accounts using the protection statement that people are more likely than in a bank to lose their money home. This statement has served to guarantee that the funds are physically protected and stable by taking safety precautions in banks. The research implemented a mixed approach methodology throughout implementing both interviews and questionnaires for collecting data. Any banks do not see and integrate ethics in their whole enterprise as a barrier to their success or activities. The so-called ethical banks are not a single business model since they arise from diverse historical contexts and represent real market conditions. There are banks based on anthroposophy and banks based on a pledge to support societies that have developed them, green banks and banks that combat poverty unbanked by microfinance in emerging economies. All of them place employees first and share ideals of sustainability, openness, tolerance and integration.

Full textAbstract:
There is nothing inherently wrong about museums purchasing specimens from commercial dealers who act honestly and in good faith. Indeed, a significant amount of the taxonomically important material in the UK's great public collections has been acquired in this way. Doing business with the trade does, however, carry risks, and there are many ways in which the unwary curator can be ripped off by an unscrupulous dealer. Apart from fakes and forgeries, the most pernicious and damaging aspect of the trade is in illicit material. Museums should respect the laws of countries which seek to protect fossils as part of their cultural patrimony. This ethic is enshrined in international convention and in the ethical codes that apply to UK museums both at an individual and institutional level, through the UK's Registration scheme. The UK is about to become signatory to the 1970 UNESCO Convention, which outlaws the international illicit trade in cultural property, and will create a new law to criminalise such activity. This paper argues the case for accepting UNESCO's inclusion of fossils in the definition of cultural property. The more relaxed ethic of some academic palaeontologists compared with the ethical standards of mainstream geological curators in the UK should be addressed by drafting a protocol, whose standards should be developed in consultation between curators, academics, and reputable representatives of the trade and third world countries from which most illicitly traded fossils originate.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractCross-border surrogacy transactions [CBST] entail several risks for the participants and the resulting child and, consequentially, for their states. In the absence of clear standards or coherent legal rules, the global industry depends on private contracts, the result of negotiations between parties from different countries with unequal bargaining power, which distributes risks and benefits unfairly. In this article I suggest a Fair Trade model as an instrument for the regulation of these transactions.The Fair Trade model addresses market failures and the externalization of risks. The basic principles of Fair Trade include trading process according to proper standards of quality and ethics based on a certification mechanism, a minimum price to producers, direct purchasing, transparent rules and fair distribution. In addition to quality and ethics, Fair Trade is a developmental tool, ensuring more of the economic benefits to producers in the global south.Applying these elements on the cross-border surrogacy market can be fruitful for the regulation of risks entailed in CBST. Certification of surrogacy services can ensure proper medical standards and fundamental rights, and decrease health risks; direct purchasing through democratically elected surrogates’ co-operatives could improve the surrogates’ power of negotiation and decrease contractual risks; a minimum price could guarantee a greater income to surrogates, and social premium could be used to fund communal projects and help surrogates to improve their social position. Finally, transparency can address administrative risks and ensure that children’s rights are not violated.

The problems of global health are truly terrible. Millions suffer and die from diseases like tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. One way of addressing these problems is via a Global Health Impact labeling campaign (http://global-health-impact.org/). If even a small percentage of consumers promote global health by purchasing Global Health Impact products, the incentive to use this label will be substantial. One might wonder, however, whether consumers are morally obligation to purchase any these goods or whether doing so is even morally permissible. This paper suggests that if the proposal is implemented, purchasing Global Health Impact labelled goods is at least morally permissible, if not morally required. Its argument should, moreover, be of much more general interest to those considering different kinds of ethical consumption.

Counterfeiting of products is an industry that affects many countries worldwide and it is an industry that has grown exponentially in the 21st century, due to the value associated with branded products. It is the demand from individuals that fuels this trade and what will keep the trade growing for years to come. It therefore becomes essential that research be conducted to investigate the attitudes held towards the trade in order to gain a better understanding of the current counterfeit environment. This article aimed to investigate the attitudes that South African small business owners have with regard to counterfeit merchandise. Quantitative research was undertaken by means of a self-administered web-based questionnaire that was e-mailed to individuals that either have an active SME (Small, Medium Enterprise) or individuals that are seeking to start their SME, who reside in the provinces of the Mpumalanga and the Western Cape. The data obtained was then analysed by means of SAS JMP version 11 whereby attitudes held towards counterfeit merchandise were established. The main conclusions emanating from the research, was that South African SMEs generally have a negative attitude towards purchasing counterfeit fashion branded merchandise.

IntroductionPoor diet is a leading risk factor for non-communicable diseases and costs the National Health Service £5.8 billion annually. Product placement strategies used extensively in food outlets, like supermarkets, can influence customers’ preferences. Policy-makers, including the UK Government, are considering legislation to ensure placement strategies promote healthier food purchasing and dietary habits. High-quality scientific evidence is needed to inform future policy action. This study will assess whether healthier placement strategies in supermarkets improve household purchasing patterns and the diets of more than one household member.Methods and analysesThis natural experiment, with a prospective matched controlled cluster design, is set in discount supermarkets across England. The primary objective is to investigate whether enhanced placement of fresh fruit and vegetables improves household-level purchasing of these products after 6 months. Secondary objectives will examine: (1) differences in intervention effects on purchasing by level of educational attainment, (2) intervention effects on the dietary quality of women and their young children, (3) intervention effects on store-level sales of fruit and vegetables and (4) cost-effectiveness of the intervention from individual, retailer and societal perspectives. Up to 810 intervention and 810 control participants will be recruited from 18 intervention and 18 matched control stores. Eligible participants will be women aged 18–45 years, who hold a loyalty card and shop in a study store. Each control store will be matched to an intervention store on: (1) sales profile, (2) neighbourhood deprivation and (3) customer profile. A detailed process evaluation will assess intervention implementation, mechanisms of impact and, social and environmental contexts.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval was obtained from the University of Southampton, Faculty of Medicine Ethics Committee (ID 20986.A5). Primary, secondary and process evaluation results will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals and shared with policy-makers.Trial registration numberNCT03573973.

Consumer behavior is a condition where consumers choose, buy and utilize products/services to fulfill their needs or desires. Consumer behavior according to Islam is comprehensive and prioritizes ethics, starting from selecting goods to their use and finally the benefits obtained from the goods consumed. Buying and selling (business) in society is a routine activity carried out all the time by all humans. However, not all Muslims carry out correct buying and selling according to Islamic law. Istishna' can be referred to as a contract that is in place between the producer of an item or something similar and the orderer, who is the first party, allowing the producer to produce the item the first party wants at a price that is mutually agreed upon. In society, buying and selling (business) is a daily activity that all people engage in. But not all Muslims follow Islamic law when it comes to purchasing and selling. Some people are completely unaware of the rules outlined by Islamic law on purchasing and selling (commerce). Islamic law is derived from the Qur'an and Hadith, which contain numerous instances and guidelines for proper business practices. Muslim

Learning outcomes The learning outcomes of this study are as follows: use advanced frameworks and tools to convey complex ideas related to corporate social responsibility and ethics; apply relevant concepts and theories of ethics and corporate governance to a practical situation while making decisions; demonstrate understanding of the importance of stakeholders when developing socially responsible thinking; and analyze ethical and legal conflicts that need to be considered by employees in situations of whistleblowing. Case overview/synopsis Sara Khan was a Pakistani-American who had moved to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2015 to pursue her Bachelor’s degree in accounting. After graduation, she started working for a baked products manufacturer, Dough Fresh, which was a business unit of Dubai-based Fresh Foods Co. Three years later, she enjoyed her work in the company that embraced strong ethical values and socially responsible practices. She was recently given the task of delivering a financial statements’, investment projections’ and cost-cutting presentation to the senior management of Dough Fresh. Her performance at completing this task was of critical importance for her obtaining the eagerly awaited promotion to the senior accountant position. One day, while Sara was looking through some files to update the financial statements’ records, she came across a deleted purchase order of poppy seeds that amounted to AED 680,000. While poppy seeds were widely used as ingredients in baked products in other countries, they were illegal in the UAE. After approaching her colleague from the purchasing department, she realized that the purchasing manager, who was the grandson of the chairman, was closely involved in the matter. Moreover, it appeared that poppy seeds were used unwashed, which triggered deleterious health consequences and made them highly dangerous to consume. As Sara spent more time researching about poppy seeds and whistleblowing laws in the UAE, she questioned whether she should divulge this information or keep it for herself. Making this decision was extremely challenging. Because the UAE laws regarding whistleblowing were not comprehensive and constantly evolving, she was not certain whether her identity and reputation would be protected in case she decided to blow the whistle. Even more, she worried immensely about the prospect of her colleagues losing their jobs if this information became public, as many of them needed the money to support their families back home and to finance expensive health-related treatments of their relatives. At the same time, she was also aware that if poppy seeds were consumed by people unknowingly, this could lead to serious and even fatal health consequences. All things considered, Sara was caught between deciding what was the right thing to do.

Shopee is an Indonesian marketplace app with 93,440,300 monthly users. Sellers in the Shopee marketplace, on the other hand, are still learning how to effectively handle the platform. As a result, the goal of this research is to see if OCR (Online Consumer Review), E-Service Quality, and Content Marketing influence purchasing decisions, and if so, whether implementing OCR, E-Service Quality, and Content Marketing with Islamic business ethics strengthens or weakens the influence of purchasing decisions. The quantitative technique was employed in this investigation. Students from IAIN Kudus, UMK, and UMKU who utilize the shopee marketplace are the focus of this study. Because the population in this study was unlimited, researchers utilized the lemeshow method to determine the sample size and acquired 96 research samples. This study employs nonprobability sampling methods using purposive sampling. The data gathering approach is done through disseminating questionnaires. SPSS version 2.3 is used to process the data obtained. Validity tests, reliability tests, statistical tests, and traditional assumption tests are all used in data analysis techniques. The findings of this study revealed that online consumer reviews, e-service quality, and content marketing all influenced purchase decisions on shopee seller marketplaces and MRA tests, indicating that Islamic business ethics is a pure moderator variable that has a positive impact on online consumer reviews, e-service quality, and content marketing.</em></p><p><em><br /></em><strong></strong></p>

Abstract Objectives Secondary cities (SC) link rural food production with urban populations. SC are rapidly growing, lack of infrastructure and face changes in dietary patterns. Across women of reproductive age (WRA) all forms of malnutrition have been identified. SC offer an opportunity for food systems transformation. We argue to uncover the demand-related determinants of purchasing, preparing, consuming, and feeding practices among WRA with low socioeconomic status living SC in Rwanda to identify possible interventions to enhance the demand of agroecological produced food. Methods Thematic analysis is conducted among WRA with low socioeconomic status living in SC -Rubavu, and Rusizi- in Rwanda. Eighteen face-to-face, in-home observations were conducted in the manner of compact ethnographic research. These observations covered the participants’ way of living, home environment, shopping and cooking observation, a pantry/kitchen audit. Transcripts from the interviews are being coded with NVIVO software. Ethical consent was provided by the Rwanda National Ethics Committee. Results Preliminary findings show that most WRA involved in the interviews prepare two meals per day. The most commonly food items consumed are irish potatoes, bananas, rice, and flour, with women indicating little to no intention of trying out new dishes or new preparation type. The most common cooking method is boiling, salt and garlic being the primary spieces used. WRA do not consume special food items based on their current life stage (pregnancy or lactation). The household budget for purchasing food is provided and decided mainly by men; however, women make the purchase and cooking decisions. The purchase of foods is determined by price, owing to minimal purchase power. Health care professionals and social workers are the trusted source of information. Final results will be available by May 2022. Conclusions Our findings will help design a social marketing campaign to promote the purchasing, consumption, and cooking practices of locally produced agroecological foods that is specifically targeted to WRA of low socioeconomic status living in those SC.
