In this insightful book, Alexander Styhre examines how
corporations, often understood primarily as economic entities or
legal devices, seek to influence and shape the market and the wider
society in which they operate. Given the scope of such activities
in most advanced economies, Styhre argues that corporations are
political agents in their own right and that they must be
critically analyzed in these terms. The book discusses the history
and mechanisms of corporate law and the introduction of regulatory
control to show how this has led to the development of a 'market
for political influence' in the form of the lobbyism industry,
think tank scholarship and advocacy, and donations to politicians
and their parties. Theoretical perspectives are complemented by
empirical studies as chapters analyze a variety of practices, such
as corporate social responsibility commitments, in the light of
corporations' political objectives. Management studies scholars and
graduate students will benefit from the broadened perspective this
book adds to organization theory and management studies literature.
It will also prove an insightful read for policy makers and those
working in regulatory agencies, as well as management consultants.
