https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2012-9-41-66
Аннотация
В статье рассматривается проблема создания общей теории фирмы. Обсуждается необходимость такой теории, дан обзор существующих подходов к обобщению теории фирмы и предложен вариант решения этой проблемы на базе теории контрактов. В основе общей теории лежит минимизация потерь от оппортунистического поведения, которое определяется материальной структурой. Далее предложено решение трех проблем «границ» (рабочего места, подразделения и фирмы) и пяти дилемм интеграции (вертикальной, горизонтальной, функциональной, связанной и конгломератной).
