我们解决了有争议的理论状态和混合的经验证据之间的关系动荡和垂直范围，通过研究如何动荡影响的好处，从组件的集成开发和灵活性的好处，从外部采购组件的承诺。我们发现，增加湍流首先增加，然后降低垂直积分的相对值。适度的动荡降低了供应商选择的难度，降低了灵活性的价值，并通过减轻一体化结构的现状偏差，增加了承诺的价值。这两种效果都提高了集成的价值。更高水平的动荡破坏了承诺的适应性好处，但对灵活性的不利影响较小，使非一体化更具吸引力。我们还展示了湍流的复杂性和不均匀速率如何缓和湍流和积分之间的非单调关系。这篇论文被Jesper Sorensen组织接受。
We address the contested state of theory and the mixed empirical evidence on the relationship between turbulence and vertical scope by studying how turbulence affects the benefits of commitment from integrated development of components and the benefits of flexibility from sourcing components externally. We show that increasing turbulence first increases but then decreases the relative value of vertical integration. Moderate turbulence reduces the value of flexibility by making supplier selection more difficult and increases the value of commitment by mitigating the status quo bias of integrated structures. Both effects improve the value of integration. Higher levels of turbulence undermine the adaptive benefits of commitment, but have a less adverse effect on flexibility, making nonintegration more attractive. We also show how complexity and uneven rates of turbulence moderate the nonmonotonic relationship between turbulence and integration. This paper was accepted by Jesper Sorensen, organizations.
