This research examines the impact of inter-organisational relationships of public sector events agencies on events tourism strategy making within Australian state/territories. The global expansion of events tourism and sustained interest in networks and relationships as conduits to strategy underpin this topic. Although public sector institutional arrangements exist in many countries including Australia to develop events tourism, there is no known empirical research of inter-organisational relationships for strategy making in this domain. Against this background, the research problem of the thesis is:
How and why do inter-organisational relationships of public sector events agencies impact upon events tourism strategy making within Australian states and territories?
Based on a review of themes and issues within the two parent theories of tourism strategy and inter-organisational relationships, a theoretical framework and four research issues are developed. These issues are:
RI 1: How does the public sector institutional environment impact upon events tourism strategies and the inter-organisational relationships that shape them, and why?
RI 2: How do events tourism strategy forms and processes reflect and influence events agencies' inter-organisational relationships, and why?
RI 3: What are the forms and characteristics of events agencies' inter- organisational relationships for shaping events tourism strategies, and why?
RI 4: What are the incentives and disincentives for events agencies to engage in inter-organisational relationships for events tourism strategy making, and why?
