The overarching hypothesis was as political imperatives baring foreign market access increase so too will firm-level political behaviors designed to reduce these imperatives. Using a mail questionnaire data collection format, 171 completed survey instruments were obtained from executive-level decision makers as major U.S. corporations. The results show that: (1) firms engage in political activities designed to reduce the effects of political imperatives in foreign markets, and (2) the emphasis placed on these activities differs significantly depending upon the political imperative in question. |
