Motors and Ford. These studies provide important background for the present research in the way they apply transaction cost analysis to the vertical integration problem.
The present research relies most heavily, however, on Williamson's (1982) model of efficient boundaries. The efficient boundaries concept implies, in addition to vertical integration, the possibility of shifting the performance of an activity from the firm to a supplier in the market, that is.

Excerpt from Transaction Cost Approach to Component: Make-or-Buy Decisions
The transaction cost approach to the study of organizations covers a wide spectrum of issues, ranging from varieties of organizational structure (Armour and Teece, 1978), to franchise contracting (Williamson, 1976). A transaction is the transfer of a good or service between technologically separable units (Williamson, 1982), and the analysis of transactions focuses on achieving efficiency in their administration. The analytical framework has two sides: first, the administrative mechanisms whose efficiency is at issue and second, the dimensions of transactions which determine how efficiently a particular administrative mechanism performs. Matching these sides of the problem is the critical task.
Given sufficient continuity or frequency of a transaction to generate concern for the efficient use of resources repeatedly allocated to it, two general dimensions determine which mode of governing the transaction is most efficient: 1) the uncertainty associated with transaction execution and 2) the uniqueness or specificity of the assets assigned by the buyer or supplier to the good or service transacted. Williamson's argument (1975) is that in an imperfect world, where individuals have limited information processing capacity and are subject to opportunistic bargaining, high uncertainty makes it more difficult for the buyer of the good or service to determine the correctness of the supplier's actions and high asset specificity makes self-serving supplier decisions particularly risky for the buyer.
Transactions which are frought with uncertainty and to which non-marketable assets have been dedicated will be more efficiently governed when performed completely by the buyer than when performed between a buyer and supplier in the product market.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on understanding the dynamics of make-or-buy decisions within organizations. The transaction cost approach is used to examine the trade-offs between producing goods or services internally versus purchasing them from external suppliers. The author explores how factors such as asset specificity, uncertainty, and market competition influence these decisions. Drawing on empirical research, the book examines how production costs and transaction costs are affected by market competition and buyer experience. The author concludes that make-or-buy decisions are not simply driven by cost considerations but also by strategic and organizational factors that affect a firm's efficiency and competitiveness.
