垂直企业是特定的买方-供应商关系，定义了日本汽车行业的公司结构。然而，在日本经济衰退期间，企业开始重组其关系，这引发了汽车制造商是否与其企业集团供应商保持交易或在企业集团之外寻求新交易的问题。应用交易成本经济学和资源基础观这两个基本理论，我们调查了日本汽车行业的零部件交易，并表明经连集团供应商与其汽车制造商保持着业务往来。我们的研究结果表明，长期的垂直企业联系赋予供应商竞争优势，即使行业内普遍存在公平交易。
Verticalkeiretsuare specific buyer–supplier relationships that define the structure of firms in the Japanese automotive industry. However, during Japan’s economic recession, firms started restructuring their relationships, which raised the question of whether automakers maintained transactions with theirkeiretsusuppliers or pursued new transactions outside ofkeiretsu. Applying two fundamental theories, transaction cost economics and the resource-based view, we investigate parts transactions in the Japanese automobile industry, and show thatkeiretsusuppliers maintained business with theirkeiretsuautomakers. Our results suggest long-term vertical corporate linkage endows suppliers with a competitive advantage, even when arm’s length transactions prevail in the industry.
