Chapter 6 in Knowledge Flows, Governance and the Multinational Enterprise, 2004, pp 108-129 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract … the pursuit of greater joint value [in inter-firm arrangements] requires the use of governance structures that are less efficient from a transaction cost perspective&strategic and learning gains often increase transaction value while simultaneously increasing transaction costs. (Zajac and Olsen, 1993: 132, 143)
