How powerful political ties appropriate resources and how weaker organizations protect themselves: A case study from Indonesia

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: We advance the resource dependence literature on appropriation of organizational resources by powerful partners, focusing on political ties. Using a unique emerging market case of a venture with political ties, we advance theory by unpacking how political connections can hurt the organization by increasing the permeability of organizational boundaries. Our extensions highlight the crucial role of control mechanisms for politically connected organizations.
