La culture et son impact sur les actions politiques des entreprises. Le cas du Règlement général sur la protection des données (RGPD)

This study elucidates cultural differences in how companies attempted to achieve their political objectives during the formulation of a new European regulation. Compared to their European counterparts, Anglo-Saxon firms had frequent recourse to individual political actions and constituency-building strategies. Our comparative approach emphasises the need to understand the rationality of corporate political actions. Our results encourage lobbyists to consider how cultural differences impact upon the political strategies of their international rivals.
