Abstract

This manuscript contributes to the organizations and natural environment literature by combining the policy process model with neo-institutional theory to develop a framework of propositions predicting business political environmental management strategies. This framework advances neo-institutional work that has traditionally portrayed government regulations as easily enforced-explicit-exogenous constraints obeyed by businesses. Our focus on political action and developing countries also advances the organizations and the natural environment literature which has paid little attention to these issues.
