INTRODUCTION

One medium for capturing this wider process of

collaboration within the goals of development,

sustainability and governance is tourism policy.

Vernon, Essex, Pinder and Curry (2005) confirm the

need for public sector leadership in tourism

development.

Prominent within these strategies is increasing

attention directed at face-to-face interactions

between representatives in the public, semi-public,

private and voluntary sectors.

OBJECTIVE/S OF THE STUDY

Aims to:-

Examine collaboration, to distinguish different forms

of conflict, and to analyze the relationship between conflict and inertia.

Investigates the momentum of a project

encumbered with a differential power structure, conflicts of interest and of interpretation to show

how it continues despite ceaseless problems and

inertia.


COLLABORATION & CONFLICT:

THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Collective Action and Identity Approaches:-

Collective action requires three conditions;

a) There must be grievance,

b) ‘common consciousness’ and

c) An awareness by an individual not only that they feel

something towards the cause but that they know that others

(not known to them) feel as they do.

Stakeholders are usually groups and once relationships

acquire, group dimensions; both collaboration and

conflict; can be seen as inter-group behavior – theoretical

basis of Social Identity Theory (SIT).


COLLABORATION & CONFLICT:

THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Social Exchange Approaches:-

In mutually dependent relations, each actor values some

outcomes that are under the control of the interaction

partner – collaborative structure as source of harmony.

Structure and Dynamics Approaches:-

Identifies attributes, conditions or factors that, if present,

determine collaboration performance.

Four central concerns emerge: (1) the identification of

stakeholders; (2) the motivation to participate; (3)

structure; and (4) purpose.


THE BAEKJE HISTORY REPRODUCTION

COMPLEX (BHRC), BUYEO, KOREA

Research Strategy:-

First, examine the history and chronology of the

development through secondary documentation

including media reports,

Second, structured interviews to examine reflections

upon the residual relationships.

Sample:-

Five (5) main stakeholder groups and one additional

third-party sector which is the mass media.


CASE STUDY

THE BAEKJE HISTORY REPRODUCTION

COMPLEX (BHRC), BUYEO, KOREA

Background:-

The BHRC project was designed to preserve the

traditional culture of the Buyeo area, revive the Baekje Dynasty’s historic relics and revitalized the

socially stagnant region.

BHRC conceived in 1992 by the Ministry of

Construction and Transportation.

The BHRC Project’s:-

a) Stakeholders and the Distribution of Power,

b) Consultation and Collaboration History, and

c) Budgetary History.


CASE STUDY

FINDINGS

Stakeholder Perceptions

a) Sensing the problem, and

b) The breakdown of trust.

Substantive Issues and Problems

a) The complexity of the governance structure,

b) Problems of historical attribution and interpretation,

c) The double-standard egotistic behavior of local business

people,

d) Lack of professional human resources,

e) Compensation expectations,

f) Human resource management issues, and

g) Getting it wrong.


FINDINGS


FINDINGS


CONCLUSION

The significance of the paper:-

Highlighting the different forms of conflict and arguing that

these present distinctive problems for any resolution

mechanism built into collaborative frameworks.

The end-product of lack of collaboration is not necessarily

conflict but an infectious inertia.

Approaches to collaboration studies outlined in the

literature review can be enhanced by positivist structural

analysis.

The conclusion, analysis must incorporate an exploration of

how national culture influences organizing and organization

structure.
