虚拟企业和网络组织:基于交易成本的解读

Virtual Enterprises and Network Organizations: An Analysis on Transaction Cost

虚拟企业和网络组织是20世纪80年代以来组织创新的结果。交易成本经济学认为:组织的多样化是一个可检验的假定,造成这种多样性的主要原因是为了节约交易成本。然而,虚拟企业或网络组织能降低内部交易成本,并不是针对这种组织形式本身,而是针对组织中的成员企业(科层企业)。由于不同的企业参与虚拟企业或网络组织的目的并不一致,构建联盟给每个成员企业所带来的经济后果也不尽相同。从这个视角考察虚拟企业或网络组织,所得到的结论更符合实际的情形。

Virtual enterprises and network organizations are outcomes of organization innovation since 1980s. In the perspective of transaction cost economics, diversification of organization is a verifiable premise for saving of transaction cost. Virtual enterprises and network organizations may reduce transaction cost of their leaguers; however, they cannot do it for themselves. Due to their different motives, the effect of establishing alfiance for every leaguer is variable. In this perspective, it will draw an actual conclusion to observe virtual enterprises and network organizations.
