AbstractThis article reports on a two‐phase study of government relations (GR) units in large corporations. Data were collected on the backgrounds of GR unit managers, the assessments of these managers of the impact and influence of the unit, the roles assigned to the GR unit, and the impediments facing GR unit managers. It was found that the GR unit plays only a minor and increasingly less important role in the government relation activities of large firms in Canada. It was also found that the roles of the unit are much more diverse than has been observed previously and the GR unit staff often work with others, both inside and outside the firm, in a team approach. It was concluded that the key challenge for the GR executive is to define and publicize clearly inside the firm the unit's exact role and the expertise that the unit offers.RésuméCet article porte sur une étude en deux phases faite sur les départements de relations gouvernementales (RG) dans les grandes compagnies. Des données furent recueillies sur les antécédents des directeurs des départements RG, les évaluations de ces directeurs sur l'impact et l'influence du département, les rôles attribués au département RG et les obstacles aurquels font face les directeurs de ces départements. Nous avons découvert que le département RG ne joue qu'un rôle minimal et de moins en moins important dans les activités du relations gouvernementales des grandes firmes canadiennes. Nous avons aussi observé que les rôles du département sont beaucoup plus diversifiés que nous le pensions et que les employés du département RG souvent travaillent en équipes avec d'autres employés tant à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur de la firme. Nous avons conclu que le défi majeur pour le cadre d'un département RG est de clarifier et de publiciser davantage à l'intérnele rôle précis et l'expertise que le département a à offrir.
During the summer of 1993, Kay Todd, President Elect of the American Association of Law Libraries, named a special task force to review the Association's government relations activities, presenting it with a goal of achieving a better coordination of such activities. The charges to the Task Force on AALL's Government Relations Activities and the processes that the Task Force utilized in fulfilling these charges are outlined in the final and interim reports of the Task Force, which follow this introduction. The Interim Report of the Task Force was submitted to the AALL Executive Board prior to its April 1994 meeting for information purposes only. The Final Report, issued on June 21, 1994, outlined nine recommendations relating to AALL's government relations activities. This report was considered by the Executive Board at its July 7-8, 1994, meetings. This introduction details the Executive Board's actions on the nine recommendations of the Final Report. It is followed by the text of the Final Report, as submitted to the AALL Board but with added footnote information to facilitate access to material cited in the Report. The Interim Report is included as an appendix to the Final Report.
