Market convergence and advertising standardization in the European Union
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to examine the relationship between market convergence and standardization of advertising programs. It is hypothesized that environmental isomorphism pressures firms to adapt their organizational structures to changing institutional conditions. A survey was conducted to managers of firms operating in the European Union (EU). Results show that the companies that believe that the EU is converging are more likely to engage in standardized advertising agencies.
