摘要

在日益不稳定和不可预测的全球环境中,企业改变国外经营模式的能力显得非常可取。我们提出并讨论模式灵活性作为一种管理能力,旨在遏制灵活性的潜在弊端;特别是协调和签约的额外成本以及由于伙伴承诺减少而造成的收入损失。我们根据模式灵活性的两个维度——多样性和可切换性——对基本权衡的平衡和转移进行了建模,并强调了实物期权的模块化和互惠使用,作为权衡转移机制的例子,这些机制可能会改善模式灵活性的成本效益平衡。

Foreign operation mode flexibility: tradeoffs and managerial responses
Abstract Firms’ ability to change foreign operation modes appears highly desirable in an increasingly volatile and unpredictable global environment. We propose and discuss mode flexibility as a management capability, with the aim at curbing the potential downsides of flexibility; in particular, the extra costs of coordination and contracting as well as revenue losses due to diminished partner commitment. We model the balancing and shifting of essential tradeoffs in relation to the two dimensions of mode flexibility – multiplicity and switchability – and highlight modularization and reciprocal use of real options as examples of tradeoff-shifting mechanisms that may improve the cost-benefit balance of mode flexibility.

期刊介绍: International Journal of the Economics of Business presents original, peer reviewed research in economics that is clearly applicable to business or related public policy problems or issues. The term "business" is used in its widest sense to encompass both public and private sector—governmental, private non-profit and cooperative organizations, as well as profit-seeking enterprises. International Journal of the Economics of Business carries papers relating to three main spheres: The organization—to analyse and aid decision making and the internal organization of the business; The industry—to analyse how businesses interact and evolve within and across industries.
