Abstract
Hotel management contract and the inside contract system, which was emerged in the 19th century ma- chinery factories, have some characteristics in common. Operators or contractors are responsible for su- pervising the overall day-to-day business, while property owners retain legal ownership of a site, building, equipment and inventories. In these situations, operators or contractors gain a comperehensive power on operations. By comparing these two forms of the past and present, hotel management contract is defined as a new form of the inside contract system.
