A Case Study on Neo-Gramscian Approach to Corporate Political Strategy

Case Study about Neo-Gramscian Approach to Corporate Political Strategy: Conflict and Accommodation in the Climate Change Negotiations

Abstract: A neo-Gramscian theoretical framework for corporate political strategy is developed drawing from Gramsci’s analysis of the relations among capital, social forces, and the state, and from more contemporary theories. Gramsci’s political theory recognizes the centrality of organizations and strategy, directs attention to the organizational, economic, and ideological pillars of power, while illuminating the processes of coalition building, conflict, and accommodation that drive social change. This approach addresses the structure-agency relationship and endogenous dynamics in a way that could enrich institutional theory.

Report Abstract: The performance of supply chain tracking systems is the cornerstone for the effectiveness of many business operations. But often the managers might ask “How well is my tracking system performing?” or “How much money is the tracking system saving us per year?”.
