“…First can be generalized as a reactive strategy which is more passive and is aimed at pure compliance with institutional regulation (Berardi, Brito, 2015) and other elements of environment, and which is communicating and searching for information about pressure groups as well (Samson, Daft, 2011;Day, Schoemaker, 2005).
