This article is part of the AIB Insights interactive lead article series. The question raised in this article is: Should your IB research deal with power? Although much work has been published on the political relations between MNEs and external institutions, it is noted that “the dynamic processes through which MNEs take political initiatives remain obscure.” The article discusses possible reasons for this lack of knowledge in the literature, sketches out interesting angles IB researchers can take to explore the topic, and presents some tools for analyzing power in MNEs.
