基于交易成本理论的商业生态系统形成与演化机制研究

The Formative and Evolutionary Mechanism of Business Ecosystem: From the Prospective of Transaction Costs Economics

从交易成本理论视角来看,商业生态系统具有解决信息不对称、多层决策和信任问题以应对产业链内部可操作性和外部环境不确定性挑战的重要优势。研究发现,降低产业链的内部交易成本是促进商业生态系统形成的关键因素,而降低外部交易成本是推动商业生态系统演化的关键因素;商业生态系统持续健康运营的重要条件是制定具有保护弱势群体企业收益的分配机制;随着商业生态系统生命周期的演进,嵌入性资源、网络效应、共生性和共同演化等商业生态系统的特点在解决信息不对称性、多层决策和信任问题中发挥了重要的作用。

From the perspective of transaction cost economics, business ecosystem has the important advan-tages of solving information asymmetry, multi-layer decision-making and trust issues to cope with the challengesof inter-operability and external environmental uncertainty. The research results show that:The reduction of intertransaction cost is the key factor to promote the formation of business ecosystem, while the reduction external trans-action cost plays an important role in promoting the evolution of business ecosystem. The rational distributionmechanism, which could protect the weaker cooperator,s profit, is an important condition to ensure the sustainableand healthy operation of the commercial ecosystem.The characteristics of business ecosystem including embeddedresources, network effects, symbiosis and co-evolution, play important roles in solving information asymmetry,multi-layer decision-making and trust issues with the development of business ecosystem lifetime cycles.
