"Regulation as Strategy": McKinsey Quaterly

A strategy that ignores regulatory realities may cost a business both its good name and vast sums of money. By the same token, economically irrational regulations often give rise to economically irrational business strategies. (At least one country, for example, allows only small companies to produce a wide array of goods. The businesses that produce them therefore make no attempt to grow and the goods are unnecessarily expensive.) This special collection of articles in the Mckinsey Quaterly show how rational regulations—and corporate strategies attuned to them—help businesses and consumers alike.
