“…By this they mean not only ought the Agreement on Agriculture within the WTO be nullified, but that a range of other WTO provisions that affect agriculture, such as rules on intellectual property rights on seeds and phytosanitary measures, also be suspended. Trade agreements rules are influenced by the corporations that subsequently benefit from them [37] , with demonstrated gendered impacts as a result [38] , [39] .…”

“…Societal development objectives and business goals were deemed as separate pursuits for many years, until the advent of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in a globalized world with multiple stakeholders (Paul and Mukhopadhyay, 2010). Among various proposed definitions, CSR can be defined as: […] an organization's obligation to maximize its positive impact and minimize its negative effects in being a contributing member to society, with concern for society's long-run needs, wants and welfare (Lantos, 2001, p. 600).…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to study the usage of ethical business strategies, in particular those using the corporate social responsibility (CSR) approach, of Egyptian businesses. The authors primarily focus on one facet of CSR strategy -cause-related marketing (CRM) -which has been increasingly used by marketing practitioners in recent times. Design/methodology/approach -In the context of Egyptian household goods business, the authors investigate the factors that motivate/hinder consumer participation in their CRM campaigns using a sample of 261 respondents in a mixed research design. Findings -Results show that motivational attribution significantly predicts consumers' responses toward CRM, with moral judgment playing a partial mediating role in such relationship. In addition, several variables such as altruism and religiosity among personality characteristics are found to arouse consumers' positive motivational attribution, whereas skepticism was negatively associated with CRM responses. Practical implications -The findings of this research have both practical and social implications for academics and practitioners alike. Successful campaigns should include the factors inducing motivational attribution, which, in turn, enhances consumers' attitude toward a company and their purchase intentions. Personal characteristics also impact consumer responses and should be paid attention to. Originality/value -In a world characterized by fast-changing pace of globalization, it has become critical to study an important phenomenon like CRM in the Middle East, and this original research provides insights into how effective CRM campaigns can be developed there. This will strengthen our cross-cultural understanding of the similarities and differences in consumer viewpoints between developed and developing countries.

“…In this context, procedural justice is vital for any adjustments in both patent rights and the wealth accumulated from patent royalties. Besides emphasizing a set of exclusive rights, patent rights also focus on procedural fairness based on individual equality (Paul & Mukhopadhyay, 2010 ). The result of redistribution can be called substantive justice in a society, while redistribution is named procedural justice.…”

In response to the great crises of the COVID-19 coronavirus, virtually all new technologies protected by patent rights have been used in practice from diagnostics, therapeutic, medical equipment, and vaccine to prevention, tracking, and containment of COVID-19. However, the moral justification of patent rights is questioned when pharmaceutical patents conflict with public health. This paper proposes a revised approach of deciding on how to address the conflicts between business ethics and patent protections and then compares the different mechanisms of clearing patent thickets. Our findings highlight that patent pledges may not only contribute to achieving the maximized substantive justice of the public but also help patent pledgors fulfill procedural justice. The advantages of patent pledges have attracted many patent holders to make public statements during the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast, the disadvantages of a free license may make patent pledges not sustainable for a long time without the related supporting measures. Our findings will be helpful for policymakers or company managers to make an appropriate decision on rationally utilizing patent portfolios for fighting against public health crises.
