- influence of specialized outside suppliers
- managerial parochialism (fear of budget cutbacks, loss of power and authority)

- skeptics who consider IMC to be a fad (short-term effect)
Synergy
integration of multiple communication tools and media yield more positive communication results than the tools used individually
