ABSTRACT

In the field of industry management in our country, industry associations as non-profit organizations are theoretically grassroots organizations spontaneously formed by industry practitioners. However, as the setters of many industry standards and evaluators of awards, national-level industry associations often attract significant attention due to their dominant position within the industry, while the advantages and disadvantages of local associations in operation are easily overlooked. Taking the local construction industry association as an example, this paper analyzes the role of local associations in industry development and the issues they are prone to, and provides the author's suggestions for improvement.
