Multinational Corporations in Political Environments: Ethics, Values and Strategies
Summary
Haley (strategic management and business administration, U. of Tennessee, Knoxville), studying the anti-apartheid divesture movement in the 1980s, presents a theory on how the differing pressures of various stakeholders influence a corporation's decision to leave a particular host country. She tests the relative effectiveness of stakeholder strategies, including boycotts and sanctions. She proposes that corporations change to maintain homeostatic equilibrium or stability in a system that includes headquarters and subsidiaries. The actions, ethics, values of stakeholders in home and host states affect managerial decisions. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
