A First Draft Treatise on Horizontal and Vertical Industry Lobbies...
Please don't read this unless you are an academic. The non-academics laugh at my pompousness (at least, differently than academics do). Recyclers... I waste their time which should be spent recycling.
AGMA, ISRI and NWSMA. Each is a trade organization which lobbies for a variety of interests. A small electronics asset recovery firm at ISRI has little in common with a large automobile shredder at ISRI. A software licensing company at AGMA has little to do with an ink cartridge manufacturer at AGMA. A third organization, NSWMA, holds the key to the challenge inherent in these organizations: horizontal and vertical.
At NSWMA, there is really not much difference between what the smallest member does - collect trash - and what the largest member does (collect trash). The biggest threat to the large member is the growing small member, and the biggest threat to the small member is the large NSWMA member.
