响应最近的呼吁，交易成本经济和资源为基础的观点的理论整合，我们研究如何边界的变化影响预先存在的组织惯例方面的组织知识和休战同时可以进一步促进我们的文献。我们专注于边界选择决策和更广泛的组织设计问题之间的联系。我们认为，对并购后整合困难的预期可能会缓和对垂直整合的交易成本经济预测。此外，我们的整合模型也可以解释收购公司的决定进行收购后的整合或离开被收购公司作为独立的子公司，从而更清楚的企业边界和中间和混合治理形式之间的理论联系。这项研究有助于管理文献，进一步探讨治理和能力之间的深刻交织的相互作用。我们的理论框架提供了一个更全面的模型，解释和预测企业如何获得外部资源，以及它的决策将如何影响其企业边界。
Answering to the recent call for theoretical integration of transactions costs economies and resource-based view, we examine how a boundary change affects the pre-existing organizational routines in terms of organizational knowledge and truce simultaneously can further contribute to our literature. We focus on the connections between boundar y choice decisions and the broader organizational design issues. We posit that anticipation of the difficulty to conduct post-acquisition integration might moderate transactions costs economies prediction on vertical integration. Moreover, our integrative model could also explain acquiring firms’ decisions to conduct post-acquisition integration or to leave the acquired firms as standalone subunits, thereby shedding more light on the theoretical linkages between firm boundaries and intermediate and hybrid governance forms. This study contributes to the management literature by further exploring the deeply intertwined interactions between governance and competence. Our theoretical framework provides a more comprehensive model that explains and predicts how a firm accesses external resources and how its decision would affect its firm boundary.
