Understanding the complex world of public policy and government is essential for any major enterprise. Successful businesses anticipate the potential impact of laws and regulations that affect their industries.
Companies that develop trusted relationships with governmental bodies and influencers can turn this competency into a true competitive advantage. And of course, all companies that deal with governmental bodies must have a clear understanding of the ethical and legal constraints of dealing with public officials.
