跨国公司垂直关系选择的理论模型

A Theoretical Model on a Transnational Corporation's Choice of Vertical Relations

跨国公司垂直关系选择涉及3种基本形式,即一般市场交易形式、垂直一体化和垂直约束。通过建立模型可以发现,垂直约束显示出与垂直一体化相似的效果,即通过非一体化方式完全可以获得一体化的结果。跨国公司选择垂直关系形式时所涉及的成本和收益因素众多,在某一特定时点或时期,没有哪一种模式能够保持绝对优势地位,因而,跨国公司可能会在某个特定时期选择某种垂直关系形式,在另一个时期选择另一种形式,或者采取几种垂直关系基本形式的某种组合。

There are three forms of vertical relationship in a transnational corporation （TNC）, namely, market transaction, vertical integration, and vertical restraint. The model indicates that the vertical restraint and vertical integration have more similar effects. A corporation can obtain an integration result by means of a non - integration form. A transnational corporation will select a certain form of vertical relationship at a given time and select another form in another period, even a combination of basic forms of vertical relationship, since every form has its own advantages owing to cost and various beneficial factors.
