| Tiivistelmä: | In this study, the authors consider a comprehensive path model of the governance mode decision for sourcing technological know-how. By integrating different perspectives on firm boundaries, including transaction cost economics, a resource-based view, and an options perspective, the authors link characteristics of the technology (i.e., uniqueness, barriers to imitation, com mercial uncertainty, technological dynamism) to the perceived threat of opportunism, the potential for sustainable advantage, and the pursuit of a licensing agreement vis-a-vis the outright acquisition of the firm that possesses the desired know-how. The authors use structural equation modeling to analyze 127 sourcing arrangements. |
