The Contingent Value of Corporate Political Ties
提出一个整合框架，分析市场环境、非市场环境及组织内外因素如何影响企业政治关系的价值，并指出可能削弱其价值的机制，为管理者判断政治关系是否值得投入提供参考。
Executive Overview Developing and nurturing links with political actors and institutions constitutes an important component of a firm's overall nonmarket strategy. This paper focuses on corporate political ties, which are boundary-spanning personal and institutional linkages between firms and the constituent parts of public authorities. To help address the inconsistency of past research findings on the value of corporate political ties, we offer a contingency perspective by developing an integrative framework incorporating market environment, nonmarket environment, and interorganizational and intraorganizational factors that condition the value of corporate political ties, and identify potential operating mechanisms that may erode their value for a focal firm. We conclude by developing suggestions for a future research agenda.
