A Structural Analysis of Corporate Political Activity
运用多维尺度分析政治行动委员会的竞选捐款，检验资源依赖理论和阶级凝聚力理论对企业参与美国公共政策过程的解释力，发现资源依赖理论更优。
During the past 2 decades, business has become increasingly active in the political process, and scholars continue to debate the extent to which this activity is organized. This fundamental issue is addressed by using multidimensional scaling to structurally analyze political action committee (PAC) campaign contributions within the context of resource dependence and class cohesion theories. Results indicate that resource dependence theory can better explain the forces that drive business participation in the U.S. public policy process. Both theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.
