Business Associations
In the emerging world economic order, there is a new role for
membership associations and chambers of businesses. While, in the past, these Associations
were considered essentially in terms of their lobbying roles, in the emerging
business environment, they can and need to perform a more constructive role, as
providers of business development services. ISED, on its own and in
co-operation with several international organizations and Business Schools,
have conducted studies and other initiatives relating to this vital
constituency. These studies enable researchers and practitioners to understand
the present and potential role of Associations and Chambers.
