The Influence of Firm Size on the Combination of Corporate Political Strategies and Tactics

Corporate political activities (CPAs) have been attracting attention from management scholars in the last 30 years.However,most of the research emphasizes on influencing factors on the overall level of CPAs,while relatively little attention has been paid to the combination of corporate political strategies (CPSs) and tactics (CPTs),or the factors that influence the combination.The impact of firm size—one of the most examined influencing factors on the overall level of CPAs in the previous studies—on the combination of CPSs and CPTs is examined in this project.The results show that it is of important impact on the complexity of the combination and the nature of CPSs and CPTs adopted.In particular,firm size positively affects the number,indirect,confrontational and secretive nature of CPSs and CPTs adopted; it also positively influence the targeted level of government of CPAs,the individual actions taken,and the persistence of the activities.
