基于内部转移定价和外部采购的企业战略组织选择

Strategic choice of organizational structure for a firm based on internal transfer pricing and external procurement

越来越多的研究表明,当企业生产最终产品所需的中间产品同时依赖内部生产和外部采购时,采用分权组织结构可以从内部的转移定价获益.本文考虑下游市场存在混合寡头竞争,上游市场存在外部供应商时的企业战略组织决策问题.利用动态博弈的均衡求解方法,在外部供应商垄断供应中间产品的框架下,分析企业在集权和分权两种组织形式的市场均衡.研究结果显示:当供应商垄断供应外部中间产品时,采用分权组织是最优策略.

More and more studies indicate that,when a firm relies on both internal production and external procurement of inputs to produce the final products,the firm can glean benefits from decentralization.In this paper we study the strategic organization of a firm when there exists external supplier in input market and engages in mixed competition in the output market.By using the backward induction in a dynamic game,the market equilibriums are analyzed for centralized and decentralized structure under the conditions that the external outputs are provided by a sole supplier.It is proved that decentralization is the preferred strategy when the firm has a sole external input supplier.
