They are the socio-economic \"rules of the game\" that serve to shape and constrain human and organisational interactions. This book is the first of its kind to provide a comprehensive overview of institutional theory in a tourism and hospitality context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe complexity and multiple scaled nature of the institutional environment plays a crucial role in the development and formation of tourism destinations, attractions, organisations, and businesses, as well as influencing the activities of individuals. Institutional theory therefore provides a means to understand the complexity and processes of change at different scales of analysis and provides insights into the organisational and political basis of tourism policy development and implementation. Chapters introduce and expand on institutional analysis in tourism and hospitality, institutional theory in the social sciences, methodological issues, and future directions in institutional analysis in tourism and hospitality, making use of case studies throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will appeal to students of tourism, hospitality, leisure, and events, as well as other social science disciplines.
