Abstract
The field of Business (Organizational) Politics directs its research activities towards the systematic exploration of conflict related phenomena within and around business enterprises. In this sense there are numerous problem areas which should eventually be clarified through business political research activity. These range from the determination of who the business political actors are, the criteria basis on which they set their objectives, and how they go about securing their objectives in view of the conflicting objectives of their business political opponents. In the context of this latter facet of business political inquiry, there are three aspects which should be subject to closer analysis and which will serve as a guide-line for the present paper: 1. Which are the elements and processes of business political goal formulation? 2. What influence do power bases have on the business political scope of action? 3. Which are the consequences of each business political alternative? In the present paper, it will be the author’s concern not only to analyse these three aspects, but lso to systematically put them into relation with one another.
