In Maair Ali’s blog “Politics and Businesses,” he gives a great example of how governments can greatly effect how a business operates. Ali says that “businesses are hugely impacted by the political scenario in the country or market.” To add to his statement, politics and the government are also hugely impacted by businesses that operate in their country. Take for example the article “Businesses threaten to withdraw investment if Government does not go green enough” in The Telegraph. This British newspaper explains how seven major British electricity and nuclear technology firms threaten to back out in future investments with the government if the government doesn’t change its environmental agenda. What’s at stake? Hundreds of million pounds of investment as well as thousands of jobs in the UK. It is evident the extent in which businesses have power over the government and the economy. Since businesses and politics are so dependent on one another, both parties need to see the importance of compromising. One day it could be the business threatening the government and the next it could be the other way around which is why they must be strategically work with the other party to fulfill their own agendas.
