corporate power

[Polyglotus]

Подскажите, что такое corporate power? (Не путать с corporate powers). Как собака, понимаю, а подобрать слово на русском не могу. Контекст следующий:
This book intends to change how you might think about spin and public relations. We argue that corporate spin is an important means by which corporate power is defended and extended.
Или вот еще:
The shadow of certain American сorporations across the oil fields of Iraq, and policy circles in Washington, suggest that we might need to reappraise the nature of contemporary corporate power.
