Issues-Acting in Concert is a term used to describe a situation where two or more parties (such as corporations, investors, or other entities) join forces acting together in pursuit of a common goal. This could include making a joint investment, attempting to influence the outcome of a particular policy decision, or other types of collective action. The purpose of this type of collaboration is usually to increase the power of the participating parties and to achieve a more successful outcome than could be achieved by any single party acting alone. Different types of Issues-Acting in Concert include: • Joint ventures: When two or more entities join forces to achieve a common goal, such as creating a new product or service. • Strategic alliances: When two or more parties collaborate to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. • Corporate campaigns: When a group of investors, activists, or other stakeholders attempt to influence corporate behavior. • Political lobbying: When one or more parties attempt to influence the outcome of a policy decision or other governmental action.
