Netsourcing Strategies for Vendors: A Resource-based and Transaction Cost Economics Perspective
本文结合资源基础观和交易成本经济学,构建了供应商网络外包决策的概念模型,并通过案例研究提出若干命题,对研究信息技术外包的学者有参考价值。
This paper discusses Netsourcing strategies for vendors, a little explored area of outsourcing research, using both a resource-based (RBV) perspective and a transaction cost economics (TCE) perspective. Using both theories and an infrastructural view of Information Technology service, we present a conceptual model of vendor sourcing decisions. We then present a number of propositions based on case studies of vendor decisions. Finally we conclude by discussing the theoretical contribution of RBV and TCE and, crucially, the value of combining both theories for the study of Netsourcing, and for other areas of IS research.
