Abstract

In this chapter, descriptions are provided of the business-wide associations AMCHAM-EU (EU Committee of the American Chamber of Commerce), ERT (European Round Table of Industrialists), EUROCHAMBRES (Association of European Chambers of Commerce and Industry), UEAPME (European Association of Craft, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises) and UNICE (Union of Industrial and Employers’ Confederations of Europe), followed by an assessment of the ‘governability’ of each of these organisations drawn both from the wider literature in the public domain and from the results presented in Chapter 4. The wider literature was used alongside survey factors to assess governability because some of the factors of governability are more oriented towards sectoral organisations and could not be used for cross-sectoral organisations. Thus, indicators of governability that could not be used included the degree of presence of (weighting in brackets): specialism in the product chain (5); an issue-niche organisation (3); involvement with cross-sectoral organisations (3); a specific regulatory regime (5); an overcapacity problem (5); concentration (4); disruptive merger and acquisitions activity (2); technology divisions (2).
