Chamber of Commerce is a gang, in a sense, a non-governmental organization that helps each other, develops together, and becomes bigger and stronger. It is a government helper, which can help the government manage and coordinate enterprises, promote the development of local economy, and can also fight for the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises and support policies from the government.
Chamber of Commerce cannot only care about the development of its own business, the creation and accumulation of its own wealth, nor can it be satisfied with doing some charity, but also has a sense of historical responsibility and the mission of the times.
This is the best era and the worst era. With capital thinking and innovative models, the whole world is your stage!
In the world of new business, there are no eliminated industries, only eliminated products and outdated business models. In the future, all business competition will focus on in product innovation and model innovation.
A company or a boss, if the innovation ability is short, you will be destined to be defeated in advance. Please remember that without innovation, there is no imagination!
Good pattern can indeed be doubled. For example, Alibaba and Jack Ma , a company is famous enough, so customers can rest assured. 2 cash flow is enough, and you are not afraid of debt. There are many people under the Three, and the ability to complete the task. It has been revealed that most companies do not have these three conditions, and no matter how good the model is, it is difficult to change.
is different from the same chamber of commerce’s survival mode of membership and dues. Now, organizations that rely on membership and dues will be on the verge of death. A company needs to join several business associations at the same time, but whether these organizations can generate value is still unknown. In the current environment, companies may pay membership fees based on an exploration or emotion, but with the discovery of the value of business associations and the decrease in expectations, the possibility of companies paying fees will become smaller and smaller.
Only business associations with special services, purchasing services and public services can obtain living space. Whether it is the European model, the American model, the Japanese model, or the Southeast Asian model, there are very few social organizations that rely on membership fees. If there are, they only account for one-third of the overall expenditure. If it is controlled to one-third, 30% of the government purchases, 30% of its own innovation capabilities, and 20%-30% of its membership income, this structure may be more reasonable. But if you rely solely on membership fees, the organization will be unsustainable.
Due to the different cultural backgrounds, national conditions and legal basis of each country, the chamber of commerce has its own characteristics. However, according to the relationship between private chambers of commerce and local governments, we can divide chambers of commerce into three categories: mainland model, British and American model and government-enterprise hybrid model. But no matter what type of chamber of commerce is, they play an important role in the economic and social development of their own country.
Market Free Mode
Market Free Operation Model is typical of Britain and the United States. It relies entirely on the company's own voluntary and spontaneous activities to maintain its operation. Members are free to join and withdraw from the meeting.
free market model emphasizes the autonomy and non-governmentality of enterprises. On the one hand, the Chamber of Commerce does not need to assume any government function and encourages the resolution of local and national issues through organized voluntary actions, thereby reducing government intervention. It will also conduct appropriate verification and balance of the government and limit its power. On the other hand, the government adopts a non-intervention and non-funding attitude towards the chamber of commerce, but will reduce some tax fees.
In the free market model of the Chamber of Commerce, there are two ways to maintain the funds for the Chamber of Commerce’s operations. One is to rely on membership fees, and the other is to rely on various consulting activities provided to some companies in the Chamber of Commerce to charge a certain fee. However, in general, membership fees are still the main one, and the latter proportion is relatively small. If there is any remaining funds required for daily activities in the chamber of commerce, business tax will be required.
Government management model
Government management model is typical of European countries such as France and Germany. The chambers of commerce in these European countries are established based on the continental legal system. The European continent has a long history and has experienced long-term development. The pressure to maintain the survival of many people is high. While emphasizing the pursuit of freedom of personal best interests, it also attaches great importance to national unity and social balance. Therefore, government intervention has been significant in the process of national industry development. For the Chamber of Commerce, the European government has a pair of "invisible hands" in addition to the "visible hands".
Take the German Chamber of Commerce as an example. The German government is responsible for the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce in accordance with the law. On the one hand, the government requires the chamber of commerce to reflect economic issues to it, provide consultation and assume tasks to the government, and provide services to enterprises as representatives of the interests of business owners; on the other hand, the government will also provide funds to the chamber of commerce.
There is also the French Chamber of Commerce, which has the nature of a government public administration agency. Public utilities are undertaken by the government, but the management of facilities related to enterprises is undertaken by the Chamber of Commerce. According to relevant data, the French Chamber of Commerce has almost monopolized the construction and operation of French public facilities, such as ports and airports.
In addition, the chamber of commerce under the European government management model has a distinctive feature, which is that according to the specially formulated relevant congress laws, all industrial and commercial practitioners must participate in the chamber of commerce, and they are not free to join and withdraw from the association.
Mixed government and enterprise model
0 Japan Chamber of Commerce’s operating model can be divided into two types. One is the semi-free model, that is, the semi-government and semi-free model, and the other is the official model.
Half government means that the government provides certain funds to the chamber of commerce, and the chamber of commerce also assumes certain government functions accordingly. Semi-freedom means that the chamber of commerce serves enterprises and society, safeguards the interests of members, and is also free to join and return. This is semi-freedom.
The second is the official model. Chambers of commerce under the official model are almost established by the government, and corporate members cannot withdraw from the committee freely. Even the daily work, activities, and choice of leadership teams of the chamber of commerce require the consent of the government.
From this we can see that Japan's business associations belong to the "intermediate" of the two models of Britain, the United States and Europe. They not only draw on the freedom principle of the British and American business associations, but also rely on the government supervision of the European Continental Chamber of Commerce, and the cooperation between government and enterprises is relatively close.
Although the chambers of commerce are different in different countries, they have adapted to the national conditions of each country, and have made efforts and achieved results in industry self-discipline, coordination of corporate interests, and prevention of vicious competition, so as to promote industry development and economic development in various countries and regions.
Compared with the operating models of chambers of commerce in other countries, the model of my country's chamber of commerce is still on the road of further exploration and improvement. You can refer to the development models of chambers of commerce in various regions, learn from others' strengths, and actively explore a high-quality development path that suits you.
A single tree cannot make a forest, and fighting alone cannot help you fight alone. Only by tying together can you form a joint force. The Industry Chamber of Commerce can fully gather the strength of the industry and play an active role in promoting government departments to formulate industry policies, standards, laws and regulations; play its functional role and promote the healthy and orderly development of the industry; the Industry Chamber of Commerce can also help integrate and publish industry information, lead industry operations and development, and maintain industry development order, and is the coordinator and guide for the healthy and scientific development of the industry.
Chamber of Commerce Organization serves as a bridge and link connecting governments and enterprises, enterprises and enterprises, and has the ability and function to integrate and gather resources. It can build a platform for communication between member companies, between enterprises and governments, and between members and people from all walks of life, realize resource sharing, complement each other's advantages, and become the "family home" and backer for corporate development.
First, provide comprehensive services to members within. For example, through education, technical assistance, technical training and other projects, help enterprises improve their business results; formulate industry standards and specifications, participate in the issuance of industry licenses and qualification review; organize conferences, exhibitions and activities; develop industry and social welfare undertakings, etc.
Secondly, it assumes the function of a communication bridge to the outside world. For example, conduct industry research and use detailed data and a large amount of information to assist the government in formulating effective and enforceable policies, laws and measures; handle the relationship between enterprises and the state, enterprises and the public, and other social groups, such as using changeable guarantee mechanisms to safeguard the interests of domestic enterprises, assist in maintaining market order, and participate in the appeal or response of anti-dumping ; hold vocational training, and the employer association and the trade union agreed on labor and wage conditions.
Again, keep pace with the times and continuously optimize operation and management work methods. For example, innovate the organizational form of conference activities; adopt new marketing methods and channels for publicity and promotion; use association management software to comprehensively manage daily work and members, etc.
For the "decoupled" China Industry Association, without financial appropriations, its funding income will mainly come from membership fees, training fees, conference activities income and government procurement of services. Therefore, to solve survival problems and achieve healthy development, we should learn from the experience of the American Industry Association, change our awareness, play the role of industry "server" well, and build a "service-oriented association". By ensuring the vitality of the association, we can absorb more corporate members, organize more activities that are conducive to the development of the industry, provide more services that help enterprises, and undertake more government-purchased services, so as to achieve super service capabilities and authoritative appeal. In terms of service, with the starting point of improving service capabilities, we organize participation or holding industry conferences and training, focus on cultivating brands, strive to build platforms, strengthen exchanges between associations, undertake government services, etc., and conduct industrial data research, organize industry-university-research joint attempts, and win the recognition of enterprises and governments through services, and improve the cohesion and appeal of associations.
quickly establishes a new interactive mechanism with relevant functional departments, strive for the support of relevant units or industry administrative agencies, and provide data and information support and suggestions for the formulation of industry norms, laws and regulations, so as to better play the role of bridges and links.
However, building such a "service-oriented association" still faces many difficulties, such as the president and secretary-general will be led by leading enterprises, with limited management energy; in order to save costs, the number of association staff is limited; the association's non-profit nature is limited, and its operating expenses are limited; historical member information lacks accumulation and segmentation, and data information is limited. At the same time, market-oriented industry associations will also face competition from other organizations and private forces. When the differences in service content between various institutions and organizations gradually narrow, everyone's differences will be reflected more in operational management methods and efficiency quality. Therefore, if industry associations want to truly solve survival problems and achieve healthy development, like foreign industry associations, they also need a set of modern operation management methods supported by information systems, namely the Association Operation Management System (AMS). Through such a system, the association can have a refined member database, automatically manage membership and renewal processes, conveniently send member notifications, organize and manage various conference activities and training, and complete brand and daily marketing and promotion through PC and mobile terminals, thereby improving member service experience, improving association operation efficiency, and saving association operating costs .
