Vices and Virtues of Corporate Political Activity: The Challenge of International Business

Mantere, Saku - Personal Name; Pajunen, Kalle - Personal Name; Lamberg, Juha-Antti - Personal Name;

The authors give a critical reading of the research interests of state-of-the-art corporate political activity (CPA) literature. They demonstrate that a noncritical tendency in the literature to view CPA as a strategic activity, aimed at making profit, may encourage firms to sociopathic behavior in their political activities. Using psychiatric literature, the authors explore the nature of sociopathic CPA. They draw on a recent discussion initiated by virtue theorists, exploring firm moral agency in order to suggest the opening of several new research areas, within CPA literature, more sensitive to moral questions.
