Abstract

Firms’ strategic orientation toward entrepreneurship exposes them to regulatory uncertainties. Prior research suggests that addressing these uncertainties through corporate political activities (CPA) may require costly trade-offs, such as the loss of strategic flexibility. We argue that some of these trade-offs can be mitigated by the way firms structure their CPA. We extend the insights from real options reasoning (ROR) to offer a framework for how firms may circumvent some of these trade-offs through greater CPA breadth, which allows firms to retain their strategic flexibility while reaping some of the benefits of CPA.
