Abstract

The current study explores consumer brand bullying behaviour in online communities, which we define as a brand specific consumer interaction process during which one consumer harasses or is perceived to harass another consumer or the brand itself. The analysis is based on a sixteen-month netnography of four online brand communities, where we sought to identify this particular consumer misbehaviour and to understand the different forms in which it occurs.
