Abstract: This article aims to analyze the impact of the transformation of subcontracting relations on transaction costs, learning costs and corporate growth. This factor analysis is based on a survey of French and Tunisian companies and highlights three findings in compliance with our theoretical assumptions. First, the complex subcontracting relation limits ex post transaction costs as partners implement mechanisms to safeguard their relations ; next, this type of relations leads to organizational learning and results in the creation of skills, thus limiting transaction costs ; lastly, by favoring the complementarity of partners, it limits the resource dependence of both contractor and order taker.
