Financing Chain AssociationsIndustry Speaks

摘要

Fundecitrus, an industry association in Brazil which serves as a consortium of orange juice related industries and producers recently created a new contribution model for its organization. Themodel was developed based upon four pillars: (1) Benchmarking with other associations, bothnational and international companies. (2) Interaction with the chain community, through questionnaires, a consulting panel and workshops. (3) Formulating a collection model that was moreequitable to the participating stakeholders. (4) A management and control system plan for implementing the project. The model was developed by working closely with the Fundecitrus Management Board. This research will be relevant to managers of other trade associations who areinterested in restructuring their own contribution model by utilizing a process which can be replicated.
