Influencing politics and political systems: Political systems and corporate strategies

Abstract

This special topic forum is intended to encourage scholarship on private firms' influence on politics and political systems from a variety of management disciplinary and intellectual perspectives. The papers in this STF develop counterintuitive theory about the circumstances of those private firms developing different corporate strategies to influence government policy. They suggest that management scholars are only beginning to address this important topic and propose several additional promising research directions.
