Abstract

Zusammenfassung Durch Lobbyingaktivitäten nehmen Unternehmen eine aktive Rolle im Zuge politischer Entscheidungsprozesse ein. Allerdings liegen in nur geringem Umfang empirische Forschungserkenntnisse über die Art und Weise vor, in der Unternehmen Lobbying betreiben. Die vorliegende Studie leistet einen Beitrag zur Schließung dieser Forschungslücke, indem zunächst Faktoren identifiziert werden, die das Ausmaß lobbyistischer Maßnahmen in Unternehmen beeinflussen. Im Anschluss werden Ausgestaltung und organisatorische Umsetzung von Lobbyingaktivitäten untersucht. Abschließend wird überprüft, in welchem Maße sie einen Teil unternehmerischer Wettbewerbsstrategien darstellen. Die Beantwortung der Forschungsfragen geschieht mithilfe einer Feldstudie in ausgewählten Branchen.
