Sample text

The trouble with this rather apologetic apologia is that it does not go nearly far enough in pinpointing the theory of the firms' weaknesses. We shall attempt to put the problem in perspective with the aid of a detailed quote from Hay and Morris: Associated with the large size of the companies which have increasingly dominated production are a number of other characteristics. The most significant is diversity of production, which can come about through mergers and acquisition, or through internal diversification.

However organisation of teams by the firm allows supervision of team behaviour and detailed, continuing observation of individual factor behaviour. Over time the monitor can accumulate and evaluate clues to individual factor contributions9 • Consequently non-separability of tasks provides a further rationale for the firm in Alchian and Dernsetz's view. Williamson (1975) provides a critical development of both perspectives outlined above. He uses a two-stage analysis to illustrate how hierarchically organised teams may supersede the market mechanism.

25-6). Williamson also argues that incentives towards opportunistic behaviour may be reduced by conditions of team ownership arrangements since the individual has sacrificed property rights to the gains accruing from opportunism. 29-30, 43-4). 43-4). An example of this might be the risks of transactions costs of buying used cars for company use; conducting market transactions with a used car salesman may be risky due to information impacted ness and incentives towards opportunism. If the used car salesman is incorporated within the team, his reliability may be gauged by the screening process (and if a satisfactory standard is not achieved he may be rejected) while any remaining opportunistic behaviour may be uncovered and penalised by team monitoring.
