This study examines the determinants of corporate lobbying. Former studies suggest that institutional isomorphism, particularly interorganizational imitation, has an impact on a firm’s decision to lobby (Kim, 2008). However, there are several modes of interorganizational imitation. Kim examines only one of them, which is the frequency-based imitation. This study expands the concept by including two more modes of interorganizational imitation: trait-based imitation and experience-based imitation. Strong support was observed for the institutional isomorphism model’s hypotheses. Empirical findings reinforce that interorganizational imitative behavior has a prominent influence on a firm’s lobbying decision.
