Description : This paper conceptualizes and proposes the notion of the prosocial orientation of a firm. It contends that a firm’s prosocial behavior should be driven by several factors including; motives of society, the decision makers, its stakeholders, and its employees. It also suggest that a firm’s prosocial orientation has several positive consequences such as increased cooperation and teamwork, greater benefits and performance, and more secure and higher levels of investment in the firm. However, prosocial orientation can lead to free-riding and managers are advised to be careful about this.

Description : This research focuses on the commercial weight-loss programs industry that presently falls under the aegis of the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) tasked with preventing anticompetitive, deceptive, and unfair business practices. It argues that the public policy focus on controlling deceptive claims [e.g. the “Red Flag Initiative” (Avery et al. 2013)] does not always result in consumers getting enough information from program advertising to make beneficial choices.

Description : Payment timing is conceptualized as the key dimension that differentiates payment types such as consumers pay now with debit cards and pay later with credit cards. This paper proposes a quantitative assessment of the payment timing differences on consumer choices through creating five different payment types (pay in advance, pay now, pay in 30 days, pay in 60 days, and pay in 90 days).

Description : This research suggests credit card purchases tend to be of larger dollar value than those made with cash (Hirschman 1979). Consumer use of credit cards has been related to their desire to fulfill their lifestyle needs, reflect their status in the society, and achieve their goals in life (Bernthal, Crockett, and Rose 2005; Hirschman 1979; Peñaloza and Barnhart 2011).
