Academic Research on The Effectiveness of Boycotts

On Boycotts Organized Through the Internet

Paul Sergius Koku

Florida Atlantic University

The study examines the suitability of the Internet as the primary tool for organizing boycotts. Unlike previous studies that treated boycotts as homogeneous events, this study followed Friedman’s (1999) taxonomy of boycotts and examined the different classes of boycotts. It extends Friedman’s five boycott groups to 7 using Garrett’s (1987) definition of boycotts, and using theories of economics and social contracts and reputation develops a number of propositions regarding the suitability of the Internet as primary tool for organizing different classes of boycotts
