Twenty-seven qualitative interviews were conducted. Results show that 16 of the 25 MNC include their government affairs managers in strategic management. Government affairs contributes to the process by aligning their business goals with the development of policies and regulations. Government affairs managers play 4 roles in the process according to the level of regulation and the frequency of external environmental changes of the MNCs: the business developer, expert prescriber, senior advisor, and internal consultant. Government affairs specialists use direct and indirect sources to gather information relevant to environmental scanning. Results also suggest a positive relationship between the participation of government affairs in strategic management and excellence in government affairs. However, in addition to excellence in government affairs, organizational mechanisms of management, organizational expectation and culture, and the nature of the MNC's industry also affect the integration of government affairs with the overall strategic management.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/21f847015064eee67cf8c4b42c3f69d49/acfacf2008-03-30T08:15:20+02:00strategic_management corporate_communication Public_relations_strategy strategy public_relations_theory <span style="color:#555555;">B. <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Steyn">Steyn</a> </span><em>Journal of Communication Management</em><em>8(2):168--183</em>(<em>2003</em>)Sun Mar 30 08:15:20 CEST 2008Journal of Communication Management2168--183{From strategy to corporate communication strategy: A conceptualisation}82003strategic_management corporate_communication Public_relations_strategy strategy public_relations_theory Strategic management theory differentiates between enterprise, corporate, business, functional and operational strategy. Corporate communication strategy is conceptualised as a functional strategy, providing focus and direction to the corporate communication function. Acting as a framework for the communication plans developed to implement the strategy, it makes the corporate communication function relevant in the strategic management process by providing the link between key strategic issues facing the organisation and communication plans. Corporate communication strategy is seen to be the outcome of a strategic thinking process by senior communicators and top managers taking strategic decisions with regard to the identification and management of, and communication with, strategic stakeholderhttp://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2d4e70505fa2b9caaa0162d1be698cd68/acfacf2008-03-30T07:53:58+02:00globalization growth strategy multinational_companies strategic_management MBA <span style="color:#555555;">P.J. <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Buckley">Buckley</a> and M. <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Casson">Casson</a> </span><em>Management International Review</em><em>47(2):151--173</em>(<em>2007</em>)Sun Mar 30 07:53:58 CEST 2008Management International Review2151--173{Edith Penrose’s Theory of the Growth of the Firm and the strategic management of multinational enterprises}472007globalization growth strategy multinational_companies strategic_management MBA This paper provides a formal model of Edith Penrose’s Theory of the Growth of the Firm which has important implications for the strategy of multinational enterprises.
