Abstract
This article explores the strategic management of government affairs in companies active in the EU. The article relies on a unique large-N dataset on the functioning and staffing of EU government affairs. The analysis shows that companies delegate government affairs functions to in-house managers with specific competences, who stay in office for long periods and who have an extensive knowledge of the core competences of the company, thanks to their educational background and work experience in the private sector. These findings suggest that how companies strategically manage and staff government affairs in Brussels rests on the distinct structure of business–government relations in the EU, which are based on the exchange of technical information and the establishment of credibility and long-run trust arrangements.
Conclusion
By looking at the strategic management of government affairs, this article applies a micro-level approach to the study of CPA in the EU. This approach moves the attention from organizational resources, such as the development of professional government affairs, to the allocation of capabilities at the microlevel, such as the allocation of human capital with determined skills and functions in charge of government affairs. Our main theoretical contribution is looking at how the strategic management of government affairs at the microlevel varies according to the macro-business–government relationships, which in turn provides the opportunity for more systematic comparative analysis. In the United States, it has been demonstrated that CPA can be seen as an economic transaction between business and government. The most valuable political resource is unique access to key decision makers. As such, we observe a great deal of traffic through revolving doors as companies seek to hire managers with work experience in the public sector. The lobbying industry is therefore characterized by former politicians and bureaucrats running government affairs offices and is subject to high turnover.
