The Impact of Changing Sectoral Definition upon Associability: the Convergence of Business Interests in the Information and Communications Technology Sector in Europe

Chapter 11 in The Effectiveness of EU Business Associations, 2002, pp 115-121 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the past there were big and powerful industry associations with large staff, huge facilities, complex structures and high fees. Their problem was that they have become so big that they no longer represented the interests of their members. Accordingly, they were perceived as slow and inflexible monster bodies, getting bigger and fat, creating more internal work rather than service to their members but with increasing demands to feed their structures financially, far from its members’ needs, with no service mentality and unwilling to change.
