The Attractiveness of Political Markets: Implications for Firm Strategy
将民主制度类比为市场过程,分析企业参与政治活动以影响公共政策的决策,并探讨政治市场吸引力如何影响企业战略。
We conceptualize democracies as marketlike processes where demanders and suppliers of various public policies interact. Firms may enter political markets to seek new or to maintain existing policies that affect their current business operations or future opportunities. We contend that a firm's decision to become politically active is influenced, in part, by the attractiveness of the political market, and we outline conditions that make political markets more or less attractive for firms to compete in to advance their interests.
