Corporate political strategy and legislative decision making: a review and contingency approach

Article Abstract:

Five types of political activity in which corporate entities involve themselves are: (1) building constituencies, (2) contributing to political action committees, (3) conducting advocacy advertising campaigns, (4) participating in lobbying activities, and (5) building political coalitions. The effectiveness of each activity when used to address single issues with perfect and imperfect information available, as well as to address multiple issues with perfect and imperfect information available, is determined. Corporations participating in a constituency program that generates communications with legislators at a grass roots level are more effective politically than corporations that do not participate in a constituency program.
