What are the political motivations behind firms' decisions to adopt
policies that self-regulate their behavior in a manner that is
beyond compliance with state, federal and local law? Public Forces
and Private Politics in American Big Business advances a new
understanding of the firm as a political actor that expands beyond
the limited conceptualizations offered by economists and
organization theorists. Timothy Werner develops a general theory of
private politics that is tested using three case studies: the
environment, gay rights and executive compensation. Using the
conclusions of these case studies and an analysis of interviews
with executives at 'Fortune 500' firms, Werner finds that politics
can contribute significantly to our understanding of corporate
decision-making on private policies and corporate social
responsibility in the United States.
