Let’s Give Opportunism the Proper Back Seat
针对Foss和Weber(2016)提出的通过丰富有限理性概念来扩展交易成本经济学微观基础的观点,提出三个质疑,并建议将机会主义置于次要位置,为组织理论提供替代路径。
Nicolai Foss and Libby Weber (2016) propose to augment the micro-foundations of transaction cost economics (TCE) through enriching the bounded rationality concept. They argue that psychological frames and biases, when linked to different hierarchical forms, may give rise to differential, costly conflicts. In their view, such conflicts are entirely rooted in bounded rationality, as opposed to opportunism. In this contribution to the Academy of Management Review Dialogue Section, we raise three issues, which somewhat challenge Foss and Weber’s perspective on how to extend TCE, and we suggest an alternative path forward, thereby indeed giving opportunism ‘the proper back seat.’
