Managing regulatory involvement – towards an integrative framework

Abstract

Chapter 6 presented the results of the dissertation project as related to our three distinct research questions: how strategy formation, as represented by corporate resource allocations, was affected by regulatory involvement; how and in what sequence the six elements of corporate strategy were aligned; and how the corporation used externally directed response strategies in order to influence its institutional environment. This chapter will generalize our findings and work towards an integrative framework for managing regulatory involvement.
