“…Hogan () and Power & Lundsten (2005) both took an organizational view, highlighting the firm's duty to stakeholders as a result of external forces rather than philanthropy (Hogan, ). Lange & Fenwick () noted that morality was a result of relationship building, while Saini () investigated the role of purchasing ethics and interpersonal issues. Both studies reported that inter‐organizational and interpersonal issues were important in understanding [un]ethical practices.…”

Qualitative studies are an important component of business ethics research. This large amount of research covers a wide array of factors and influences on ethical decision making published between 2004 and 2014. Following the methodology of past critical reviews, this work provides a synopsis of the diverse array of qualitative studies in ethical decision making within the business ethics literature. We highlight the distinct and investigative nature of qualitative research, synthesize and summarize findings, and suggest opportunities for future research. We conclude with a recommendation for developing qualitative studies in business ethics and a call for an increased openness when considering this valuable and underrepresented strategy of inquiry.

“…Opportunism is defined as self-interest seeking with guile (Williamson, 1993). Opportunism has parallels with deceit, yet numerous differences exist such as withholding or distorting information, or a failure to maintain obligations (Saini, 2010).…”

“…The lack of trust brought about by a party's failure to honor the agreement exposes both parties to a more difficult situation than what they had before they started the engagement and may even lead to unpleasant consequences (Deutsch, 1958;Hosmer, 1995). This observation by Hosmer (1995) is shared by Saini (2010) who noted that in the context of purchasing ethics, a partner takes risk in a relationship because of confidence in the exchange partner. In their study of the buyer-seller relationships existing in retail pharmacies, Jambulingan et al (2011) noted that parties dependent on each other have more to lose if they will not trust each other, thus it is important for both parties to be fair and to trust each other.…”

This paper presents the relationship between supply chain collaboration and trust, two important concepts in supply chain management. The transaction costs and stakeholder theories were used as frameworks in analyzing supply chain collaboration and trust. These constructs were developed through literature review and in consultation with industry experts. Factor analysis was conducted to identify the underlying dimensions of these constructs while correlation analysis was done to determine their association. A total of 57 companies from Philippine manufacturing and service sectors participated in the study. From the factor analyses, two important dimensions of supply chain collaboration emerged: (1) joint planning and decision making and (2) information sharing. The trust construct, on the other hand, revealed two important perspectives: (1) relational perspective (the longterm relationship of the supply chain partners and their familiarity with their respective organizations) and (2) risk perspective (the propensity and willingness to take risk under conditions of uncertainty). Correlation analyses reveal that information sharing, a measure of supply chain collaboration, is significantly correlated with the relational perspective of trust. The study contributes to the supply chain management (SCM) literature by providing comprehensive and pragmatic definitions of supply chain collaboration and trust. It also provides practitioners with a listing of SCM strategies that they can employ to achieve better collaboration.
