Organizational Context as a Moderator of Theories on Firm Boundaries for Technology Sourcing
研究交易成本、期权和资源基础三种理论解释技术获取企业边界的程度如何受管理风险承担影响，而风险承担又由组织情境决定。对关注企业边界决策的管理者和学者有参考价值。
Three research theories used to explain firm boundaries are transaction cost economics, an options perspective, and a resource-based view of the firm. The authors' integrated model addresses the degree to which each of these three perspectives explains firm boundaries for technology sourcing is contingent on managerial risk taking, which is partly determined by organizational context. The authors' results suggest that, in general, management stockholdings, firm risk orientation, and slack resource availability moderate the extent to which the perceived threat of opportunism, the threat of commercial failure, and opportunity for sustainable advantage all influence firm boundaries.
