Abstract: | A company's reactions to a boycott may have long lasting effects on corporate image. In this article, a number of boycotts are examined, for example boycotts against Ford and Procter & Gamble run by the American Family Association. These boycotts were triggered by the companies' advertising venue choices. It is challenging for companies to determine their moral obligations in a politically and morally charged atmosphere. Based on the demonstrated case examples, the paper suggests principles that can offer guidance in corporate moral decision making in the case of boycott thread. |
