Abstract

We introduce the transaction cost and market entry views as two critical motivations for shipping alliances and argue that shipping alliances increase alliance performance (i.e., improve oversupply, financial distress, and excessive competition). This study empirically evaluated the effects of transaction cost, market entry, and shipping alliances on alliance performance in a maritime shipping context. Data were collected from a survey of the Directory of the National Association of Shipping Agencies and Companies. A factor analysis was employed to identify the key dimensions, and a subsequent analysis was conducted using a structural equation model to test the research hypotheses. The findings show that shipping alliances act as a mediator variable between transaction cost, market entry, and alliance performance. The theoretical contributions and managerial implications are proposed to serve as a basis for a wider discussion of shipping alliances.

台湾联盟动机、航运联盟与联盟绩效评价

我们引入了交易成本和市场进入观作为航运联盟的两个关键动机，并认为航运联盟可以提高联盟绩效（即改善供应过剩、财务困境和过度竞争）。本研究实证评估了海运环境下交易成本、市场进入和航运联盟对联盟绩效的影响。数据是从国家航运机构和公司协会目录的一项调查中收集的。采用因子分析来确定关键维度，随后使用结构方程模型进行分析以检验研究假设。研究结果表明，航运联盟是交易成本、市场进入和联盟绩效之间的中介变量。提出了理论贡献和管理启示，作为更广泛讨论航运联盟的基础。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
