Research Tuesdays: sharing great research with the community

Hard Sell: The ethics of Marketing

If television's The Gruen Transfer, Choice magazine and the endless flow of online complaints are anything to go by, the marketing world is rife with unethical behaviour.

Indeed, a growing global body of research into corporate responsibility is revealing a deep undercurrent of public distrust. So how have we reached this point and, most importantly, can it change?

In this controversial presentation, University of Adelaide marketing and consumer behaviour expert Professor Pascale Quester will dissect the many ethical dilemmas faced by marketers on a daily basis.

She will also offer a variety of perspectives that could improve the morality of their decisions, and discuss the critical role to be played by "ethical consumers".

Professor Pascale Quester is the Executive Dean of the University of Adelaide's Faculty of the Professions. She has over 150 published articles and internationally refereed conference papers, and is the Asia Pacific editor for the Journal of Marketing Communications.

WHEN: 5.30-6.30pm Tuesday 13 October
WHERE: Lecture Theatre G04, Napier Building, North Terrace Campus
