The article, “How Think Tanks Amplify Corporate America’s Influence,” discusses the evolving role of corporate funding in think tanks; advancing government policies and agendas that are favorable to their financial and sociopolitical interests. Think tanks are defined as non-profit research institutes, involved in public policy analysis and research in order to find solutions to public issues. However, in attempts to gain funding, lines are crossed, as corporations expect to gain political influence in exchange for their generous donations. Stakeholder influence can compromise the mission of the organization, particularly in think tanks, who are expected to make objective conclusions independent of monetary interests.
