Firm-level responses to government regulation: Theoretical and research approaches
从企业视角出发，讨论公共政策如何影响企业竞争环境，并分析企业如何通过战略适应和影响公共政策来回应政府监管，为管理者和研究者提供了理解企业政治行为的框架。
Historically, the relationship between business firms and government has usually been approached in terms of its effects on the process of representative democracy (i.e., the implications of business political activity for the functioning of government). More recently, perspectives on business-government relations have developed within a managerial framework [i.e., from the viewpoint of the corporation and the manager]. This article discusses the consequences of public policies for the competitive environment of the firm, which provides one explanation for political behavior. Firm-level responses include both strategic adaptation and attempts to influence public policy. It discusses a variety of research approaches to understanding the firm S strategic use of public policy processes, as well as suggestions for further research.
