Sponsored by STR, Co-sponsored by OMT, OB, IM, ONE, and SIM
Dear colleagues,
We are excited to invite participants to our interactive PDW on Corporate Political Activity (CPA)-a dynamic and evolving area of research on firm–government interactions. This "idea incubator" is designed to highlight new directions in CPA, including:
· Tactics beyond lobbying and campaign contributions
· Intersections of CPA and CSR
· Political strategy across global and comparative contexts
· The micro-foundations of CPA, including individual practitioners
· The visibility, ethics, and societal consequences of CPA
· Navigating CPA in an era of geopolitical tension, nationalism and populism
The session features a panel of leading scholars, including Amy Hillman, Tazeeb Rajwani, Pei Sun and Lori Qinyuan Yue, as well as an awesome line-up of discussants, including Moritz Appels, Aharon Cohen-Mohliver, Tony He, Zhao Li, Laura Olkkonen, Tim Werner and Dorothee Winkler, who will lead an idea workshop after the panel. We hope to see you there!
