摘要
It is argued that firm cooperation in Supply Chain Management (SCM) can be classified as a hybrid governance structure in a new institutional sense. Using a key informant survey, exploratory data on transaction dimensions and supply chain management were gathered and analysed. The findings suggest that the implementation of such a cooperation is not a binary choice but rather a matter of varying degrees. All factors commonly associated with influencing transaction costs (asset specificity, uncertainty and frequency) are significantly higher for firms with more fully implemented supply chain management, making a more integrated solution advantageous. Additionally, the data suggest a strong influence of transaction frequency on the degree of asset specificity and uncertainty. Copyright © 2007 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
