Insights to the Consequences of Fair Trade from an all-female coffee Cooperative

RUSSELL–DU VARNEY, Kelley A.– Texas State University (États-Unis), thesis for the degree Master of Arts with a Major in Sociology, 2013, 100 p. - Site de digital.library.txstate.edu

Abstract : "To date, social scientists, international aid organizations, and fair trade organizations have conducted extensive research concerning the experiences of fair trade producers. However, there is relatively little research available regarding producers’ experiences in all - female, fair trade cooperatives. This project focuses specifically on Nicaraguan female coffee producers who are members of an all - female, fair trade cooperative associated with the Nicaraguan NGO, Cooperativa Femenina . The purpose of this project is to learn more about the producers’ experiences with the Fair Trade network and with their cooperatives, especially with regards to democratic participation, producer empowerment and equity of opportunity within the organizational structure. Data was collected over a one - week period by means of interviews via an English - Spanish translator. The results of the qualitative analysis of this data revealed a positive association between the producers’ social empowerment and their active participation in their cooperatives. Furthermore, the cooperative’s supportive, gender - centered organizational framework provided a safe environment for the women to challenge patriarchal social norms related to decision - making and leadership. A better understanding of female agricultural producers’ fair trade and cooperative experiences may enhance the efficiency and overall success of development efforts that aim to improve the quality of life of poor, rural women."

Why do some Consumers Consume Ethically ? A Contingency Framework for Understanding Ethical Decision Making

Journal of Marketing Research and Case Studies, 2013, Vol.2013, Article ID 420183, 20 p. - Site de ibimapublishing.com

Abstract : “Although consumers’ generally have positive attitudes towards ethically conscious behaviors, their actions are not unequivocally consistent with attitudes. Consumer research to understand the adoption of ethically conscious behaviors is therefore important. This paper makes a cross-cultural analysis of consumers’ ethical decision ma king process in the context of environment consciousness (Europe, USA and China). A model of individual ethical decision making is presented and tested empirically. We suggest that the information targeted to convince the consumers to engage in ethically conscious behaviors should appeal three subdivisions of their belief structure ; the information part, the concern part, and the self-belief part.”

Mieux comprendre le consommateur de produits équitables, l’intérêt de la notion de valeur pour le consommateur

PETITPRETRE, Benoît, Université d’Avignon et des pays du Vaucluse (discipline marketing), 2008, 17 p. - Site de leg2.u-bourgogne.fr

Résumé de l’auteur : « La consommation de produits équitables est en fort développement. Dans cet article, nous proposons d’aller plus loin que les approches qui se focalisent sur la responsabilité ou l’éthique du consommateur. Nous tentons de remettre en perspective ces préoccupations avec une vision plus classique en marketing, celle de la valeur pour le consommateur. La typologie de Holbrook propose un cadre d’analyse que nous appliquons et enrichissons à cette consommation. Nous mettons en évidence la diversité des valeurs issues de l’expérience et ’importance des éléments relationnels dans cette consommation. »
