Abstract

The extant literature on networks in tourism management research has traditionally acknowledged destinations as the primary unit of analysis. This paper takes an alternative perspective and positions Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) at the forefront of today's tourism management research agenda. Whilst providing a relatively structured approach to generating enquiry, network research vis-à-vis Social Network Analysis (SNA) in DMOs is often surrounded by serious impediments. Embedded in the network literature, this conceptual article aims to provide a practitioner perspective on addressing the obstacles to undertaking network studies methodological framework for investigating DMOs as interorganisational networks of member organisations is proposed in response to complexities in network research. The rationale behind introducing such framework lies in the opportunity to trigger discussions and encourage further academic contributions embedded in both theory and practice. Academic and practitioner contributions are likely to yield insights into the importance of network methodologies applied to DMO organisations.

Özet

Turizm işletmeciliği araştırmalarına ait geniş literatür, temel analiz birimi olarak destinasyonları ele almaktadır. Bu çalışma alternatif bir bakış açısı ile günümüz turizm işletmeciliği araştırmalarında Destinasyon Yönetim Örgütleri'ni (DYÖ) ön plana almaktadır. Böyle bir bakış açısı bir taraftan nispeten yapılandırılmış bir sorgulayıcı yaklaşıma olanak sağlarken, diğer taraftan da DYÖ'lere yönelik Sosyal Ağ Analizi (SAA) yoluyla yapılan ağ araştırmalarının kısıtlarına sahiptir. Ağ literatürüne ait bu kavramsal makalenin amacı DYÖ'ler ile ilgili gerçekleştirilen ağ araştırmalarında gözlemlenen engellere yönelik bir uygulayıcı bakış açısı sunmaktır. Ağ araştırmalarındaki karmaşık yapıya bir çözüm olarak, üye kuruluşların bir kurumlar arası ağı olarak DYÖ'lerin araştırılmasında üç aşamalı ve basit bir metodolojik çerçeve önerilmiştir. Böyle bir çerçevenin öne sürülmesindeki başlıca nedenler, hem teorik hem de uygulamalı akademik gerçekleştirilebilmesidir. Akademik ve uygulamaya yönelik katkıların DYÖ'lere yönelik ağ metodolojilerinin önemini desteklemesi muhtemeldir. araştırmaların teşvik edilmesi ve akademik tartışmaların gerçekleştirilebilmesidir. Akademik ve uygulamaya yönelik katkıların DYÖ'lere yönelik ağ metodolojilerinin önemini desteklemesi muhtemeldir.
