For example, a group of companies might work together and create a trade association to establish industry standards and benchmarks. In another example, technology firms might join forces to create a trade association to ensure that components from different manufacturers are compatible, thus allowing a market to thrive that might otherwise be handicapped by inertia and competing approaches. In a nutshell, a trade association allows an industry to communicate appropriately to various constituents in a way that improves the fortunes of everyone involved in the industry. In this capacity, trade associations interact with government agencies, legislators, customers, the media, industry companies, suppliers and many others. But as of June 2010 there was no such organization for the over 100 established businesses in the sport & social industry.
