50On measuring ethical judgmentsJournal of Business Ethics 12 (7). 1993.We critique a series of recent papers in which Reidenbach and Robin developed a multidimensional ethics scale. Our critique raises four problems for the scale. First, it is not clear what the scale measures. Second, the semantic differential items used in the scale seem problematic. Third, the scale omits several important ethical rationales. Finally, no caveats accompany the scale to alert managers about its proper and improper use.

27True Consumer Autonomy: A Formalization and ImplicationsJournal of Business Ethics 183 (3): 841-863. 2022.Consumer autonomy is a fundamental topic for marketing ethics scholars.

The goal is to transfigure a hitherto amorphous topic via a mathematical formalization that defines true autonomy…Read more

22‘Freedom Through Marketing’ Is Not DoublespeakJournal of Business Ethics 164 (2): 227-241. 2020.The articles comprising this thematic symposium suggest options for exploring the nexus between freedom and unfreedom, as exemplified by the British abolitionists’ anti-slavery campaign and the paradox of freedom. Each article has implications for how these abolitionists achieved their goals, social activists’ efforts to secure reparations for slave ancestors, and modern slavery. We present the abolitionists’ undertaking as a marketing campaign, highlighting the role of instilling moral agency a…Read more

566Children's influence on consumption-related decisions in single-mother families: A review and research agendaPhilosophical Explorations. forthcoming.Although social scientists have identified diverse behavioral patterns among children from dissimilarly structured families, marketing scholars have progressed little in relating family structure to consumption-related decisions. In particular, the roles played by members of single-mother families—which may include live-in grandparents, mother’s unmarried partner, and step-father with or without step-sibling(s)—may affect children’s influence on consumption-related decisions. For example, to off…Read more

53Responsible Ads: A Workable IdealJournal of Business Ethics 87 (2): 199-210. 2009.Although the societal advantages of responsible advertising are self-evident, no detailed vision of responsible ads exists. Without this vision, stakeholders have no framework for identifying, preventing, and remedying non-conforming ads. To address this problem, the four basic properties of responsible ads – consistent with an everyday-language, business-oriented definition of responsibility and the assumption that ads are not inherently bad – are posited. Then, the best milieu for creating suc…Read more
