Political behavior is understood as an interaction that is embedded in the relationships between MNCs and political decision makers. The question is: how do MNCs behave when they deal with political actors? A model including the factors of interactive behavior, the characteristics of the actors involved, and outcome was developed and used to analyze the political behavior of Swedish MNCs interacting with European Union (EU) political units.

In this construction, business relationship function is exposed to be interrelated to connected business and other actors which are directly or indirectly interdependent. The argument is driven by the notion that actors, like competitors, intermediaries and political units, can generate uncertainty for the core business relationships. In order to achieve a deeper understanding, the study develops a conceptual view which contains the two key relationship concepts of commitment and trust (Morgan and Hunt, 1994). Stressing on business network theory, the paper contends to study the influence of different type business and non-business connections on focal business. The empirical study is based on a survey which contains extensive interviews with 354 firms' relationships. To reach this the paper constructs a LISREL model to test the hypothesis. Knowledge on the impact of these units can aid business firms when developing strategies towards these units. Including uncertainties sources like intermediary and political relationship may provide a more reliable picture of the firms' behavior in business network.
