| Summary: | Recent cases in retailing reflect that ethics have a major impact on brands and performance, in turn, demonstrating that brand owners, employees, and consumers focus on ethical values.

Multi-source data based on a sample of 225 retailers indicated a strong link between power, ethics, and commitment and that these affected output performance. |
