Organizing Industrial Activities Across Firm Boundaries Summary
|
The way in which industrial activites are organised among firms has been a fundamental theoretical concern for a long time. In practice firms have found these matters, referred to as make-or-buy issues, difficult to analyse. This book investigates how industrial activity can be organised efficiently when the work is divided between different firms. Organizing Industrial Activities Across Firm Boundaries provides an overview of the theoretical background to these issues before developing an original analysis base upon an activity based framework. The classical problem of vertical integration is dealt with as a matter of how to analyse and obtain efficiency in activity structures involving several participants. These issues are examined in a major case study with four embedded cases addressing various aspects of the activity structures. The book also provides a detailed analysis of the interdependence, boundaries and dynamics of activity structures. The make-or-buy issue is central to both economics and business administration with applications for production, purchasing and marketing issues. Organizing Industrial Activities Across Firm Boundaries is an original and stimulating analysis of this important area. |
