So inter-organizational relationship becomes one of the interesting research topics and usually studied in business organization level. On the other hand inter-organizational relationship exists in public organizations based on the same logic, and causes many problems for these organizations. For many reasons, available research results cannot be used in public sector. Therefore this article presents a methodology based on simulation approach to study inter-organizational relationship in public organizations.
