A Resource-Based Theory of Market Structure and Organizational Form
结合产业组织与组织生态学视角,提出资源空间分布形状和开发经济性共同塑造市场密度与集中度,为组织科学中分散的理论提供统一框架。
We argue that combining the insights from both the industrial organization and organizational ecology perspectives is likely to produce value added. We develop are source-based theory of market structure, where resources pertain to the environmental assets (together forming the resource space) without which a firm cannot operate viably. We propose that the distributive shape of the resource space, together with the presence or absence of exploitation economies, molds market structures in terms of density and concentration. Our theory unifies many unconnected strands of theory in the organization sciences domain.
