We determine optimal meeting frequency (i.e., the highest number of regularly scheduled meetings of the Standing Committee of the inter-agency coordination per year at which profit can be maximised) for poorly functioning public¨Cprivate partnership (PPP) industries (i.e., their average return on assets or ROA<0). The tourism industry in emerging countries such as Laos provides an example of a PPP. Using two-person Nash bargaining theory and given budget constraints, we find that the government should conduct bimonthly meetings to improve PPP industry competitiveness. We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because few emerging studies use mathematical models to address the problem of public and private sector meeting frequency and collaboration %K Meeting frequency (regularly scheduled meetings) %K inter-agency coordination %K public-private partnership %K Nash bargaining game %K shadow price %K Laos %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=333753
