  • effective public affairs in china mnc government bargaining power and corporate strategies for influencing foreign Business Policy formulation
    Journal of Communication Management, 2004
    Co-Authors: Yiru Regina Chen
    Abstract:

    China’s open‐market reform and rapid economic growth have generated a tremendous surge in activity and market investment by multinational corporations (MNCs). By 2000, 400 of the 500 most famous MNCs had invested in China. One distinctive feature of China’ s Business environment, its authoritarian political system, requires MNCs to practise strategic public affairs to interact constantly with the different levels of Chinese government, respond to the policies and further influence Business Policy formation. This paper proposes a conceptual model of MNC‐government bargaining that is composed of international political economy, dependency theory and agency theory. It then examines (1) the international and domestic influences on MNC‐government bargaining in China and (2) the strategies MNCs employed to influence Chinese laws for foreign Business in their interests. A case study of the Chinese ban on direct selling operations in 1998 and Amway’s strategies to remove the ban is presented. Results suggest that effective public affairs should engage in the following activities: (1) issues management, (2) constantly and systematically analysing the MNC’s bargaining power with the host government, (3) selecting public affairs strategies based on the analysis of MNC‐government bargaining, (4) exercising relationship management, and (5) being ethical in its practice.

  • Non-Financial Ratios in the Undergraduate Business Policy Course in American Business Schools
    2013
    Co-Authors: Gerry N. Muuka
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this empirical study was to determine the extent to which professors in U.S. schools of Business teach and/or use nonfinancial ratios for case analysis in their undergraduate Business Policy course. Of the 71 AACSB-accredited and 52 non-accredited schools responding, only 52% said that they used nonfinancial ratios in undergraduate Business Policy. Of the 45.5% who said they did not use nonfinancial ratios, 48.2% said they expected other courses to do it; 14.3% said they did not have the time; and the remainder gave the suprising reason that nonfinancial ratios are “useless.” No differences were found in the treatment of nonfinancial ratios between AACSB-accredited and non-accredited schools or between different types and sizes of undergraduate Business schools.
