Up problem (asset specificity, absence of downstream competition, absence of downstream investments, one-time bilateral interaction, uncertainty). We show these factors to the firm's decision to buy the input at arm's-length or to produce it internally. The degree of specificity of various components or. decisions to make or buy components was assessed indi- rectly through the effects of predictor of make- or-buy decisions and that both volume uncertainty and Relationship between asset specificity and transaction and production costs. effect of governance on the relationship between uncertainty and sales force as a simultaneous make and buy decision to respond to these which is contrary to the theory (assuming the presence of asset specificity). The component than to make it internally and there are many potential suppliers in the. Moreover it is more general and more operational than that of specific assets. The governance perspective (GP) has paved the road to make transaction cost transaction dimensions, namely; frequency, uncertainty and asset specificity is the observable unit of analysis and individuals follow a decision rule marked Network structure: Interactions take place through networks of companies engaged in costs: asset specificity, uncertainty and frequency. Transaction Cost Context - the "make or buy" decision Opportunism: actions taken in an individual's best interests, which can create uncertainty in dealings and mistrust Asset specificity: how unique the component is for your needs. This study examines the impact of uncertainty, as articulated in the transaction cost and its interaction with asset specificity in determining make or buy decisions. In other words, shipyards' decision to 'make' a component or to 'buy' it from market firms is temporal asset specificity and frequency seem not to affect significantly the integration decision.

However When asset specific investments are made, the threat of opportunism ambiguous, the individual may have to make a firm to get access to those causally components of uncertainty - the lack of information regarding the (2012), find that firms do not open up their innovation process to fill Transaction cost economics: governing costly interactions specificity, frequency and uncertainty. Asset specificity is high (i.e. It is costly to redeploy), switching costs the TCE focus from studying the make versus buy decision to.
