Abstract: Abstract In the realm of contemporary business strategy, lobbying has emerged as a critical factor influencing policies, shaping legislative outcomes, and ultimately impacting the trajectory of businesses. In a globalized world economy, understanding the dynamics between the private and public sectors is crucial and warrants in-depth analysis. This analysis is of paramount importance for the economic field of study, as it elucidates a business dimension often overlooked by academia. Lobbying, while integral to business strategy, remains a dimension less explored in scientific research compared to disciplines like management, marketing, finance, or supply chain. This article aims to delve into the nuanced landscape of lobbying, shedding light on its dynamic role in the corporate and economic spheres. While previous studies have primarily focused on the general impact of lobbying on policy outcomes, this article seeks to bridge this gap by providing an updated examination of its role in the context of business strategy. The research employs a multifaceted approach, combining a thorough review of existing literature with real-world data on lobbying activity in the USA, European Union, and Romania. By offering a comprehensive analysis, this article aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between lobbying and business strategy, thus informing strategic decision-making processes in contemporary business environments.
