Marketing as a discipline has evolved with the unintended consequences of making consumers spend more and buy things they do not need, resulting in significant consumer well-being challenges such as financial debt, negative emotional states, and ill-health. Even though the ill-effects of buying have been investigated in the extant literature, a comprehensive understanding of situational factors (or environmental factors) that socially responsible marketers can act upon has been missing. We find that compulsive buying behavior (CBB) poses significant challenges to consumer well-being but is rarely given due importance. CBB has been conceptualized by impulse purchase in its most basic form, progressing to obsession-compulsion, lack of self-control, and addiction in its extreme form requiring clinical interventions. After a thematic analysis of N = 67 articles around situational factors leading to CBB, the findings are arranged under five broad categories resulting in the BEEST framework (Brand, Environment, Economic, Sociological, and Technological). Further, ten sub-themes under these five broad categories and four sub-themes under psychological moderating factors affecting the relationship between situational factors and CBB are explicated. The study ends with future research directions in situational factors research in CBB area to increase consumer well-being or minimize consumer ill-being.

The authors introduce meta-analysis as a compelling tool for macromarketing research in an increasingly complex and data-driven world, and share an example of its application. They synthesize and generalize empirical findings on the relationships between marketing systems (MS) and quality-of-life (QOL), two concepts integral to macromarketing. Results indicate dimensions of MS are positively associated with QOL, suggesting that marketing systems enhance consumer well-being across contexts and metrics. The promotion dimension of MS has the highest correlation with QOL; the strongest positive MS-QOL relationship was estimated for personal health. Measurement, cultural, and socioeconomic factors that affect the strength of MS-QOL relationships also were assessed. Results suggest the association between MS and QOL is stronger in studies based on primary/subjective measures of QOL constructs, in samples drawn from developed economies, and in more indulgent, uncertainty-tolerant, and long-term-oriented cultures. Implications for theory, policy, practice, and opportunities for further research are discussed.

Frontier markets of the world are countries with promising long-term rewards for investors, but risky and uncertain prospects in the next few years. These pre-emerging markets include such countries as Nigeria, Bangladesh, Jordan and Lebanon. Although sustainable business practices have appeared in frontier markets, the fragility and volatility of these markets raise the question about the nature of consumer support for sustainability in these challenging markets. Specifically, not much is currently known about factors influencing consumers’ purchasing support for firms pursuing sustainable business practices in frontier markets. This study contributes to macromarketers’ understanding of frontier markets by addressing consumers’ support for sustainable business practices in Lebanon. Structural equation modeling results of survey responses suggest that sustainable business practices influence purchasing of Lebanese consumers and are positively affected by antecedents, such as 1) Attitude toward Business Benevolence, 2) Environmental Values, and 3) Concern about Business Ethics. These results correspond to those from a US sample suggesting that support for sustainable business is not merely a phenomenon for developed markets—but for frontier markets, as well.

Rebounding off the denaturized concept of business ecosystem, we develop an initial conceptualization of the marketing ecoverse. The marketing ecoverse refers to the confluence of three equally important types of ecosystems: business, sociocultural, and [natural] biogeophysical. We argue that the marketing ecoverse is based on shared natural phenomena, ecosystem functions, and native/inter-ecosystem service and disservice flows. The marketing ecoverse's self-regulative processes include material-to-moral signaling, resilience moderation, source-sink constraints, and artifact dispersal. A case of the growth and partial collapse of fourth-generation bike-sharing systems and their impact on African rural communities is presented to further illustrate the marketing ecoverse processes.

This pedagogic commentary introduces the concept of “brand blunders” to the macromarketing literature and considers the interaction between advertising, race, and society from a macromarketing perspective. We first analyze relevant literature on cultural stereotyping in advertising for both gender and race, and evaluate consumer responses to ideologies in advertisements. Three prominent recent racial controversies are selected to examine the nature of the advertising imagery, consumer interpretations of the advertisements in question, and the company responses to the public furor created by these campaigns. We then consider the issues, implications, and potential actions for macromarketing raised by these examples, and some key research questions that arise for future macromarketing scholarship. The commentary is intended to provide macromarketing educators with a summary of the key knowledge base on the relationship between advertising, race, and society, for use in courses in advertising, brand management, consumer research, innovation management, marketing communications, and marketing strategy.

This study sought to examine new marketing ethics (ME) practices that can foster strong moral grounding in the fashion and apparel retail firms to delineate a new approach within this industry. We built on the distributive justice and stakeholder orientation literature to conduct a multi-case study with 15 self-proclaimed ethical fashion and apparel retailers to identify whether and how they differ from traditional and fast fashion retailers. Several data collection techniques were used to gather the evidence (i.e., direct observation, physical and online interviews) combined with a netnographic approach (i.e., online observation of websites and social media content). Our findings show that these firms are guided by ethical-centered values, which are reflected in their product components, purpose, communication practices, and sourcing practices, which point to the emergence of a new business approach. We contribute to the macromarketing literature by identifying a new perspective on the role of morality in ME based on distributive justice principles and stakeholder orientation. We also propose a more refined definition of ethical fashion and apparel retailers.

Years ago Shelby Hunt noted that cromarketing focuses on marketing systems, the impact of marketing systems on society, and the impact and consequences of society on marketing systems. The ruling by the United States Supreme Court enabling states to require remote sellers to collect and remit sales taxes on in-state purchases exemplifies the latter. Imposing a new tax burden on previously untaxed remote sellers has the power to alter the structure of retailing and impact consumer welfare. Responding to “new economic realities,” the Court reversed long-standing precedent requiring that sellers must have a physical presence in the state to be subject to taxation. Proponents viewed this as a major step in restoring lost tax revenues to the states. Critics point to the inconsistency of the Court's ruling with stare decisis, the regressive nature of sales taxes, and recent public policy mandates stemming from the Covid pandemic. Although the Wayfair ruling is now the law and many of the concerns voiced prior to the Court's action seem to have been unfounded, the macromarketing implications remain. The potential impact of public policy on retailing cannot be ignored nor should the regressive nature of an increase in sales taxes on income inequality be overlooked. Additionally, there remain questions of fairness and administration with the ruling. Students of macromarketing should not ignore these issues. The responsibility to examine the impact of society—and the Court—on marketing systems was reinforced years ago by Bartels and Jenkins: “…the goal of marketing is the achievement of entrepreneurial goals in a manner consistent with the best overall interests of society… Macro models represent value judgments made by society for society; by governments in the form of laws, administrative orders, and judicial decisions…and by others who assume the role of advocating what is best for the general welfare.”

Trust has long been recognized as an important component of marketing systems. However, while macromarketing researchers argue that a lack of trust in business can impact other components of marketing systems, very few empirical studies in marketing investigate the determinants or outcomes associated with this type of trust. Accordingly, we begin with the premise that trust in major corporations is a critical, micro-level attitude that affects the performance of a marketing system. Then, we investigate the factors that influence trust in major corporations by analyzing how perceptions of government involvement in business, political ideology, and other attitudinal and demographic variables affect trust. Using hierarchical linear modeling, we find that trust has a curvilinear relationship with perceptions of free-market competition, in which too much trust, or too little, leads to negative perceptions - trust plays a critical mediating role in constructing beliefs about free markets. Additionally, we show that macroeconomic variables influence the first stage of attitude formation toward major corporations, with gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and foreign direct investment (FDI) acting as moderators in our analysis. Overall, the multi-level moderated-mediation model used in this research embodies a true systems approach to the analysis of marketing systems by demonstrating how the economic outcomes of marketing systems (e.g., GDP and FDI) can also have feedback effects on participants within a marketing system.

This paper outlines how value can be measured across four elements of the firm/stakeholder relationship beyond standard economic measures. It takes into account the perception of financial value along with non-financial benefits provided and received by the firm and its stakeholders. Focusing only upon the economic or financial outcomes of such relationships can lead to erroneous results as the money spent may not create value for the receiver, and could even do significant harm. The aggregation of views across different firms together with the perceptions of various stakeholders will allow for comparisons between firms and stakeholders. Applying this conceptual model will also reveal what is important to the firm versus what is important to the stakeholder. This paper proposes an improved approach to conceptualizing and measuring net value in which businesses can see if the value they provide exceeds the value they receive from stakeholders and vice versa.
