跨国公司的政治一直被认为是一个“有争议的领域”，需要进一步研究总部大刀阔斧的重组决定和当地反应之间的动态，以了解集体抵抗是如何进行的，以及在什么条件下进行的。开发了一种新格拉姆西恩方法来分析法国两家面临重大重组的工厂，包括关闭。我们追踪力量的动态，这些力量在调整抵抗对象方面起着重要作用。我们确定了两个结构性过程--等价链和差异链--这两个过程对抗性的构成具有重要意义。这篇文章有助于发展和完善管理和组织研究的新葛兰西学派的方法，特别是跨国公司的政治。它通过解释集体抵抗是如何构成和组织的，什么有利于和限制创建集体对抗战线的可能性，以及当地管理抵抗的作用，完善了对跨国公司政治的研究。
MNCs’ politics has been considered a ‘contested terrain’ and further research is needed into the dynamics between the Head Office’s drastic restructuring decisions and local responses to understand how collective resistance is performed, and on what conditions. A neo-Gramscian approach is developed to analyse two plants in France facing drastic restructuring, including shutdown. We trace the dynamics of forces significant in aligning resisting subjects. We identify two structural processes – chains of equivalence and chains of difference – which were significant to the constitution of resistance. This article contributes to the development and refinement of a neo-Gramscian approach to management and organization studies in general and to multinational corporations’ politics in particular. It refines the study of multinational corporations’ politics by explaining how collective resistance is constituted and organized, what favours and limits the possibility of creating a collective antagonistic front and the role of local managerial resistance.
