Abstract：
Based on an institutional environmental view, adopting an in-depth interview and survey approach, the paper compares and contrasts the corporate political behavior of privately-owned businesses in Zhejiang and Henan, and finds that corporate political activities of these companies in the two provinces are of significant differences in terms of their political environment, political strategies, and the effectiveness of their respective activities. The formal and informal institutions explain the differences. The results, on one hand, contribute to the comparative studies of corporate political activities, on the other have some important implications to both the government and the companies of these two provinces.
