“…Several articles were considered irrelevant, as their focus lay on a business or non-business area other than sales, such as advertising, accounting, law, or public relations (e.g. Brennan and Baines 2006;Kim 2014). This screening process yielded 146 articles clearly related to our research topic: the unethical behaviors and practices of key actors in a sales environment.…”

Changes in the business environment are rapidly transforming sales practice and pressuring the integrity of key actors in sales. Given that unethical sales behavior is a social activity produced and reproduced by various actors in a complex sales task environment, we introduce a novel research perspective to the study of unethical sales behavior, namely a practice-based view. With knowledge from a systematic literature review and a practice-based view from organization research, we suggest unethical behavior should be studied as a practice formed through socialization and interaction with relevant others. This view provides an important alternative as well as a complementary perspective to the ethical decision-making paradigm that has dominated the field for several decades. The study answers scholars' recent calls to strengthen the theoretical foundation of sales ethics research and further extend its perspective towards the social context of sales. With a focus on dynamics, social relations, and the enactment of practices, the practicebased view produces new types of knowledge on unethical behavior, and potential new means for addressing it. The paper makes suggestions for future practice-based research and proposes several theories for use in studying unethical behavior in currently important sales contexts.

“…The recent controversy surrounding patents on antiretroviral drugs exemplifies just such a circumstance (Johansson et al 2008;Benatar 2006;Brennan and Baines 2006;Nattrass 2003). In this case, a firm has invented and patented a product which represents the most effective means of mitigating the suffering of AIDS patients and, at the same time, represents the right to mitigate that suffering for those who possess the product.…”

“…Middleton (2005) claims that having CSR guided by the socio-economic priorities of a nation or region is simply good business; he further suggests that companies in emerging countries have to vigorously shape the socio-economic and political landscape to make available an operating environment which is beneficial to business. According to Brennan and Baines (2006), the business reaction to the socio-economic problem of HIV/AIDS is a case in point. Visser (2006) used the survey of CSR in Africa to challenge the correctness and applicability of Carroll's (1991) CSR pyramid and maintains that if Carroll's basic four-part model is accepted, it is proposed that the relative priorities of CSR in Africa are likely to vary from the classic, American ordering.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the multinational oil companies’ (MOCs) corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives in Nigeria. Its special focus is to investigate the impact of the global memorandum of understanding (GMoU) on gender difference in nutrition and health in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach This paper adopts a survey research technique, aimed at gathering information from a representative sample of the population, as it is essentially cross-sectional, describing and interpreting the current situation. A total of 800 women respondents were sampled across the rural areas of the Niger Delta region. Findings The results from the use of a combined propensity score matching and logit model indicate that CSR of the MOCs using GMoU model has made significant success in closing the gender difference in nutrition and health in agricultural household in the Niger Delta region. The findings also show that mainstreaming gender in nutrition within the field of agriculture is a critical aspect of strengthening gender and nutrition/health linkages, in recognition of women’s substantial contribution to agriculture production and their central role in household food collection, preservation/processing and preparation. Practical implications This suggests that mainstreaming gender in nutrition offers opportunities to integrate agriculture and health approaches in GMoU projects, which will require increased collaboration and coordination between the MOCs’ and CBD clusters in the field of gender and nutrition to exploit existing complementary and comparative advantages, and to apply a holistic approach in host communities. Social implications This implies that gender and nutrition/health have multiple dimensions and are highly context-specific; and the pathway towards improved food and nutrition security for all should be a gender-equitable process incorporated in CSR programmes and projects in sub-Saharan Africa. Originality/value This research contributes to the gender debate in agriculture from a CSR perspective in developing countries and rationale for demands for social project by host communities. It concludes that business has an obligation to help in solving problems of public concern.
