Ethics in Business and Education Sustainable Supply Chain Management Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to review the domain of ethical decision making in supply chain management for the purpose of suggesting how further research in this area may be developed. We examine the evolving nature of supply chain management and current efforts to include ethical decision making in supply chain management decision making. We show that, while there is growing concern with ethics, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability, the current state of the field is fragmented with the majority of articles reviewed focusing on specific issues rather than a more holistic approach. We then review ethical decision making models from Ferrell and Gresham (1985 Ferrell , O. C. , & Gresham , L. G. ( 1985 ). A contingency model for understanding ethical decision making in marketing . Journal of Marketing , 49 ( 3 ), 87 – 96 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) and Hunt and Vitell (1986 Hunt , S. D. , & Vitell , S. ( 1986 ). A general theory of marketing ethics . Journal of Macromarketing , 6 ( 1 ), 5 – 16 .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) widely used in analyzing marketing ethics and use these models to suggest a framework for ethical decision making in supply chain management.
