ABSTRACT

This study investigates how the complex institutional environment surrounding foreign-invested firms (FIEs) affects their corporate political strategies (CPS) in China. Analyses of data on 442 FIEs operating in China show that the relative potency of dual institutional pressure from FIEs’ home and host countries shapes their strategic choices. Institutional factors at the country, region, and firm levels not only affect firms’ adoption of multiple firm-based tactics but also shape their collective-oriented associational activities. Moreover, participation in both foreign and domestic business associations enhances an FIE’s adoption of firm-based political tactics, but joining domestic business associations has a stronger effect.

7. Conclusion

This study deepens our understanding of how complex institutional environments affect FIEs’ choices of multiple forms of CPS in emerging economies. We find that dual institutional pressures and connections at the country, region, and firm levels affect firms’ adoption of various forms of CPS, including firm-based tactics and collective-oriented associational activities. Moreover, FIEs’ engagement in associational activities also enhances their adoption of firm-based tactics. In particular, domestic trade associations turn out to be more effective in enhancing firmgovernment relations and promoting the adoption of firm-based political tactics. Our study indicates that institutional analysis is a promising avenue of CPS in international business.
