ABSTRACT
The aim of this article is to understand the different forms of dyadic inter-organizational relationships between French metropolises and regions, as part of the definition of their territorial attractiveness strategies. We analyze the degree of involvement of inter-organizational relations as a function of the institutional and organizational levers that territorial managers can activate, adding individual levers through professional identity. The originality of this research lies in the context of inter-organizational relations constrained by law. Through the study of four metropolis-region relationships, the results enable us to improve the continuum of inter-organizational relationships by substituting interaction for the absence of relationship. Finally, we highlight the role of individual levers, through professional identity and commitment to the territory, moving from a linear approach to relationships to a dynamic one.
