| Abstract: | Recent studies on ethical consumerism suggest that consumers increasingly care about the ethical components of products and business processes and that these concerns have financial implications for the businesses involved. The importance of ethical consumerism to many companies worldwide has increased dramatically in recent years. Ethical consumerism encompasses the importance of non- traditional and social components of a company's products and business process to strategic success - such as environmental protectionism, child labor practices and so on. The present paper utilizes a random utility theoretic experimental design to provide estimates of the relative value selected consumers place on the social features of products. |
