BUSINESS

INSTITUTIONS



What kind of institutions do support internationalisation?

Among various institutions that support internationalisation, an

important role is played by the

Chambers of Commerce Abroad

They are business associations established as private sector

organisations, based on the principle of freedom of association,

and that operate for the interests of their members without any

obligation to assist the government (i.e., CCA are akin to so

called !Anglo"a#on model! rather than !Continental model! CC$.




Among various institutions that support internationalisation, an

important role is played by the

Chambers of Commerce Abroad

They generally originate from the spontaneous gathering of

businessmen and%or business company e#ecutives based in the

same local area within foreign countries, that later apply for

recognition of CCA status from home country public authorities

or home national association of CC.

The CCA play a silent albeit substantive role in trying to shape

institutions and regulations of foreign markets (e.g., Amcham

&elgium' Cowles, ))*, +, and -eterson and Cowles, ))$,

although they have not been largely researched so far.



The CCA perform various activities/

influencing economic and social actors for creating and sei0ing

new business opportunities,

working with rule-making organisations that affect international

trade and foreign investments,

preventing potential conflicts with stakeholders and

minimising political risk,

and actively engaging the media and other public arenas for

safeguarding image and reputation of their members.

The meaning of what they do 1 sometimes labelled 2business

diplomacy3 1 can be better defined by drawing some conceptual

boundaries between their activities and those of other related

concepts (4akoff, )5$.
