Abstract

This PhD thesis investigates and analyses the functions and business practices that underpin the sustainability and performance of remote Aboriginal Art Centre Cooperatives. The thesis draws extensively on the work of Mazzarol et al (2011a; 2011b; 2012a; 2012b; 2012c) and develops a new culturally appropriate Combined Framework for use as a research tool that enables a systematic analysis of the sustainability of remote Aboriginal Art Centres.
