Abstract

This paper attempts the discussion on political will in strategic management. It provides insight into the range of political motivations that support stakeholder management. I present political will as a set of complementary dimensions, i.e., benevolence and self-serving, which are corresponding to fair and arm’s length approaches to stakeholder management. I formulate propositions presenting relationships between political will and effectiveness of managers and between motivation of political will and participation of stakeholders in creation of value. This integrative model offers the necessary political mechanism for organization’s value creation to be tested in the future research.
