Abstract: | This study applies transaction cost economic theory and perspectives in an empirical test concerning purchasing performance (here as: p-perf.) using electronic marketplaces (hereafter as: e-mplc/s). Basically, buyers can purchase products either by changing btw. multiple e-mplc/s. or maintaining close relationships with a particular e-mplc/s. It is explored which is more beneficial for a buyer organization's p-perf. as to price reduction and purchasing efficiency. Developed hypotheses and a research model are tested and analysed using the purchase of maintenance, repair and operations products in a large and important market, South Korea. |
