Policymaking frequently involves the interests of many parties, which often leads to a intense competition for interest groups. Moreover, the fierce collision of interest camps may even drive the sudden policy change commonly known as hairpin turn. This article takes the hairpin-turn process of the electric scooter industry as the research context where the frame analysis is employed as the theoretical perspective. KYMCO as an interpretive case is selected to explore how the strategic framing of traditional enterprises may affect the policy changing of the scooter industry. Based on in-depth interviews and industrial policy text analysis, this article finds that KYMCO has changed the agenda setting of policy issues through the three strategic framing of (a) “turning from the guest into the host” (反客為主), expanding the policy field of scooter industry; (b) “stealing the beams and pillars and replacing them with rotten timbers” (偷梁換柱), changing the agenda setting of scooter industry; and (c) “advancing secretly by an unknown path” (暗渡陳倉), adding the policy issues that are inclined to incumbent firms. By using the strategic framing, framers may change the policymaking field, as well as the theme and content of policy agenda setting. This article provides a strategic reference for stakeholders’ participating in policy making; as well as a theoretical perspective on how firm-level framers interact with industrial policymaking for seeking hairpin turn. |
