Rezensionen

'This book provides an important and interesting insight into the hospitality and tourism sectors. The focus on the institutional theory provides a refreshing view on how policy and governance can influence the rules of the game of the hospitality and tourism industry. Definitely a compulsory resource for students and novice researchers in various social science disciplines.'

Jose Huesca Dorantes, University of Auckland Business School, New Zealand

'While the importance of the institutional environment in understanding tourism is well recognized, a comprehensive review of recent advances in institutional theory from neighbouring disciplines and their application to tourism studies is missing. This book provides a thorough review of institutional perspectives in organisational sociology, economics, political science and international business and proposes an integrative framework with a rich discussion on how the different elements of institutional analysis can be applied to better understand tourism organisations. In addition, the book provides an excellent reflection on the methodological challenges of 'doing' institutional analysis. As such, this book will be of great value for students of tourism and in advancing institutional analysis in tourism studies.'

Ziad Elsahn, University of Northumbria, UK

'This book must be welcomed as pioneer comprehensive research on the application of institutional theory to tourism and hospitality. Tourism and hospitality businesses are able to develop and flourish by understanding the institutional environment they operate in. This book is invaluable for researchers and university students.'

Sergei Polbitsyn, Ural Federal University, Russia
