TL;DR: In this paper, the authors draw on social dilemma theory and reference group theory to understand the individual boycott decision and test the predictions stemming from this conceptualization in two experiments and find that consumers' likelihood of participating in both economic and social-issue boycotts is jointly determined by their perceptions of the boycott's likelihood of success, their susceptibility to normative social influences, and the costs they incur in boycotting.
Abstract: This article draws on social dilemma theory and reference group theory to understand the individual boycott decision and tests the predictions stemming from this conceptualization in two experiments. Consistent with our predictions, consumers' likelihood of participating in both economic and social-issue boycotts is jointly determined by their perceptions of the boycott's likelihood of success, their susceptibility to normative social influences, and the costs they incur in boycotting. Consumers' success perceptions are, in turn, determined by their expectations of overall participation and efficacy, as well as the message frame inherent in proboycott communications. Two key determinants of consumers' boycotting costs are their preference for the boycotted product and their access to its substitutes. More specifically, consumers who are more susceptible to the normative influence exerted by the reference group of potential boycotters are more influenced by expected overall participation rates in their boycott likelihood.

TL;DR: In this article, a cost-benefit approach to the decision to boycott and a conceptualization of motivations for boycott participation was presented and tested during an actual boycott of a multinational firm that was prompted by factory closings.
Abstract: While boycotts are increasingly relevant for management decision-making, there has been little research of an individual’s motivation to boycott. Drawing upon the helping behavior and boycott literatures, we take a cost-benefit approach to the decision to boycott and present a conceptualization of motivations for boycott participation. Our framework was tested during an actual boycott of a multinational firm that was prompted by factory closings. Consumers who viewed the closures as egregious were more likely to boycott the firm, though only a minority did so. Four factors were found to predict boycott participation: the desire to make a difference, the scope for self-enhancement, counterarguments that inhibit boycotting, and the cost to the boycotter of constrained consumption. Further, self-enhancement and constrained consumption were significant moderators of the relationship between the perceived egregiousness of the firm’s actions and boycott participation. The role of perceptions of others’ participation was also explored. Implications for marketers, NGOs, policymakers and researchers are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the financial effects of shareholder pressure in what activists consider the visible and successful instance of social activism in investment policies, the boycott of South Africa designed to speed the end of the apartheid regime.
Abstract: This article examines the financial effects of shareholder pressure in what activists consider the visible and successful instance of social activism in investment policies, the boycott of South Africa designed to speed the end of the apartheid regime. It seems that socially activist shareholder pressure on corporations has become a fact of life. In 1987, the American Medical Association called on medical schools and their parent universities to divest tobacco holding stocks. The demand for stocks may be sufficiently elastic so that pressures by social activists merely redistribute ownership from socially active investors to other investors without affecting stock prices. South Africa itself may have switched to trading with other countries not participating in the boycotts at low cost. The alternative hypothesis is that activism and sanctions imposed measurable costs and constrained unique investment opportunities so that firm value was affected adversely. This alternative predicts that banks and corporations with South African operations and the South African financial markets experienced negative stock price reactions on the announcement of legislative and private investor sanctions.
