  the business firm in terms of multiple stakeholders with partially-misali
 gned objectives also requires adopting behavioral models of firm decision 
 making that envision collective decisions as arising from a political proc
 ess. However\, the renewed interest among managers and management research
 ers in stakeholder governance has also underscored the shortage of quantit
 ative methods available for studying business firms as political systems. 
 A critical problem for researchers applying coalition-based theories of or
 ganizational politics to observational data is that the units of analysis\
 , coined 'subcoalitions'' in Cyert and March (1963)\, are often unobservab
 le. This paper introduces Subcoalition Cluster Analysis (SCA) as a new com
 putational framework for analyzing intra-firm conflict that permits resear
 chers to model groups of heterogeneous actors in terms of a smaller set of
  representative subcoalitions. We then apply SCA to two cases in which an 
 organization characterized by multiple\, partially-inconsistent goals and 
 a diverse group of stakeholders with heterogeneous preferences face a poli
 tically-contested decision. In both cases\, we first analyze preference da
 ta using SCA to identify the subcoalition structure that best characterize
 s the set of actors in the organization. We then use the SCA output as a d
 ependent variable in an analysis of the predictors of subcoalition members
 hip in the first case and as an independent variable in an analysis of the
  changing patterns of social influence in the second.\n
