title = {Micro-political Games in the Multinational Corporation: The Case of Mandate Change},
year = {2009},
note = {Micro-political conflicts associated with corporate
internationalization have been neglected by and large in the
literature so far. Despite early consideration by the behavioral
theory of internationalization, the specific strength of a
micro-political approach, i.e. combining actors’ idiosyncratic
action with structural and institutional constraints, remained more or
less unused in studies on corporate internationalization. Screening
the relevant literature, discussing the strengths of micro-political
approaches and proposing mandate changes in multinational corporations
as an particularly interesting empirical field, the paper also
outlines for some directions for further research into the
micro-politics of multinational corporations.},
