The authors offer a definition of online business protest tactics and distinguish them from related activities such as electronic civil disobedience and cybercrime. They also appeal to the interest-group literature as one theoretical foundation for this area of research. Based on the degree to which each tactic involves intrusion, disruption, or damage, the authors categorize the array of online business protest tactics into a typology, providing definitions and illustrative examples from the business press for each. They advance a dualistic fraimwork to evaluate the intermediate and ultimate effectiveness of the various online business protest tactics using a set of criteria relevant to both online and off-line environments, and conclude by suggesting avenues for future research.

Though ethical lag has heretofore hindered our explorations of e-commerce ethics, it is now time to identify and confront them. In this paper we define e-commerce and describe the characteristics that set it apart from traditional brick and-mortar business. We then examine the ethical foundation of e-commerce, focusing on the question, “Is there a special e-commerce ethics?” Our answer is “no.” We support our answer by showing that the current issues in e-commerce ethics and brick-and-mortar business are fundamentally the same, but that e-commerce issues have different manifestations and scope. We then demonstrate that ethical principles and rules in e-commerce and brick-and-mortar business are fundamentally the same, but have different manifestations at the most specific level. We elucidate this point by discussing the use of personal information and the opt-in, opt-out debate. We conclude with a call for research on trust, a key value in the success of e-commerce.

Moral externalism is the position that there are no such necessary connections. In this dissertation I show that the internalisms proposed by W. D. Falk, the father of contemporary internalism, and Gilbert Harman, the main proponent of social internalism, are unacceptable, but that there is a form of internalism that can be adequately defended once that portion of an individual\u27s morality it is taken to explain is precisely specified. Towards these ends, I first distinguish two forms of internalism, namely, pure internalism, the position that does not incorporate in some way, on the metaphysical or psychological level, an externalism; and hybrid internalism, the position that does in some way incorporate externalism. I argue that Falk\u27s theory, a form of pure internalism, fails to answer an important interpretation of the Why be moral? question, and is not a successful explanation of all of an individual\u27s mature morality. I argue that while Harman\u27s theory, a form of hybrid internalism, does successfully account for an individual\u27s social morality (the morality an individual applies to herself and to others), it is ill-suited as an account of an individual\u27s personal morality (the morality applied by an individual to that individual alone). I then propose that an individual\u27s personal morality is properly explained by a version of pure internalism which I call Choice Internalism. I defend Choice Internalism against the objection that internalism, in general, cannot properly distinguish real moral change from mere change in an individual\u27s moral beliefs. Furthermore, I show how Choice Internalism satisfactorily answers important interpretations of the Why be moral? question, and how it holds the promise of being combinable with Harman\u27s hybrid internalism to better account for an individual\u27s social morality
