Nine reasons and functions of joining the chamber of commerce

The trade chamber of commerce is the spokesperson of each member enterprise, the authoritative publisher of information of each member enterprise, the defender of market fairness and justice, and the intimate person of each member enterprise.

First, joining the trade chamber of commerce has nine reasons and functions for member enterprises:

1, different economic status. Can quickly consolidate and enhance the leading position of member enterprises in the industry. Once members join the Chamber of Commerce, they will enjoy a unique economic status. Gold-lettered signboards such as executive directors and directors of expert committees are more likely to win the favor of consumers and customers and bring business opportunities and wealth to member enterprises.

2. Different political identities. You can get the opportunity to recommend political arrangements for business representatives. Members of the Chamber of Commerce have officially become members of the Federation of Industry and Commerce since they joined the organization. They have a unique political identity and are protected by CPPCC and the United Front Work Department at all levels.

3. Promote industry exchanges. Can establish a good personal relationship and trading exchange platform. Industry chambers of commerce can not only enhance communication and friendship between associations, promote win-win cooperation among members, and enhance the vitality, cohesion and core competitiveness of chambers of commerce, but also carry out extensive business exchanges and business contacts with brother chambers of commerce in the Federation of Industry and Commerce system.

4. Learn from advanced experience. Organize business inspection: organize business inspection between enterprises in the industry and chambers of commerce organized by the industry, and organize business inspection outside the city for members.

5. Rights protection. It can help members solve practical problems: once a member company joins the Chamber of Commerce, it will find its own "family" and spokesperson. Chambers of Commerce can make use of good government resources and member networks to solve various economic disputes and infringements for member enterprises and avoid major economic losses.

6. Provide business opportunities for cooperation. Promote industry integration: organize close cooperation among building materials, furniture and decoration enterprises, cooperation among raw material suppliers, and exchanges and interactions between furniture and building materials decoration enterprises and real estate developers, property management companies, financial institutions and chambers of commerce in other industries to achieve a win-win situation.

7. Expand the influence of members. Provide opportunities for member companies to display their image and expand their influence. Organize or co-organize various exhibitions, promotion meetings, hold industry presidents' forums and professional lectures and trainings, so as to promote member enterprises to continuously expand market space and networks and bring direct benefits to enterprises.

8. Recommendation, commendation and listing protection. Authoritative recommendation and commendation by the Chamber of Commerce. Commend and recommend advanced enterprises and individuals on a regular basis, carry forward the fine atmosphere of the industry, unite with law enforcement departments such as industry and commerce, quality inspection and so on to crack down on industrial infringement and lawless elements, and establish a good competitive environment in the industry.

9. Natural "arbiter". The Chamber of Commerce plays an irreplaceable role of "arbitration". Because of its self-discipline and heteronomy, the Chamber of Commerce is naturally the "arbiter" of market competition and order norms. Chamber of Commerce is a kind of insider, in charge of internal affairs, which can effectively mediate disputes among members, and often turn competitors into partners, forming a joint force of external sales. Disputes between enterprises are often said to be reasonable, women say women are right, and commercial disputes emerge one after another. Some disputes "go to court" as if they were worthless; It seems useless to find the government; It seems inappropriate to quarrel at home; It seems too timid to think so ... ",and if insiders of the Chamber of Commerce and industry giants negotiate to resolve disputes, it will get twice the result with half the effort.

Second, the eight advantages of industry chambers of commerce

Chamber of Commerce is a social organization with * * * consistent goals, * * consistent requirements, and consistent interests, self-management and self-service. It has three functions: first, self-discipline, second, reciprocity, and third, protection of members' rights and interests.

Chamber of Commerce is an interest group in the form of combat readiness alliance in the early stage of member enterprises' development, and it is an industry platform for member enterprises to develop from the date of their growth.

Compared with trade associations, the Chamber of Commerce has unique and incomparable advantages:

1. In the way of formation, the Chamber of Commerce is formed spontaneously by members from bottom to top, which is democratic and the product of market economy. Trade associations are basically derived or guided by the competent authorities from top to bottom, which is mandatory and the product of planned economy.

2. Membership: The Chamber of Commerce is an organization of member enterprises, and its members are mainly emerging backbones from all walks of life, representing progressive forces; The members of trade associations are mostly "royalty" or "stakeholders" closely related to them, which is conservative.

3. From the perspective of affiliation, the Chamber of Commerce is spontaneously formed by member enterprises under the guidance and supervision of the Municipal Federation of Industry and Commerce, and is not under official control; Trade associations are derived from economic sectors and are actually controlled by the government.

4. Generation and composition of leading members: the leading members of the Chamber of Commerce are spontaneously generated by democratic enterprises of member companies and led by industry elites; Leading members of trade associations are recommended by industry authorities, and most of them are diverted or retired.

5. Main functions: the Chamber of Commerce should look at the faces of member enterprises, collect the demands of private enterprises on the government in time, pay attention to safeguarding the collective interests of member enterprises and provide services; However, it is difficult for members of trade associations to continuously and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of member enterprises depending on the face of the competent authorities.

6. In terms of working mechanism, the Chamber of Commerce is flexible and efficient, without bureaucracy, and it is the "family" and spokesperson of member enterprises; Trade associations are bureaucratic, love to exercise privileges and make things difficult for member enterprises, and are the "husband's family" of member enterprises.

7. On political recommendation: the Chamber of Commerce can "recommend political arrangements for business representatives" (that is, political titles such as CPPCC members); Trade associations simply do not have this function.

8. About industry consolidation: The Federation of Industry and Commerce can provide member enterprises with opportunities for exchanges, transactions and development with more than 40 directly affiliated industry chambers of commerce in the city (such as joint activities with real estate marketing industry chambers of commerce and property management industry chambers of commerce-face-to-face exchanges and interactive activities with the owners of Xinshangfang Community; Trade associations basically do not have this function.
