• W2127683106 abstract "Empirical observation reveals that in various key sectors large firms increasingly tend to adopt a strategy of vertical disintegration while asset specificity levels remain high. As a new form of inter-firm relations, business networks are one of the salient features of what may be termed the emerging institutional structure of production. In the literature, one stumbles on expressions such as “networks of firms,” “firm networks” and “network-firm.” These should be understood as relating to the horizontality or verticality of a given network. While “network of firm” and “firm networks” designate horizontal networks quite uncontroversially, the term “network-firm” adds to the already abundant confusion surrounding the definition of the firm. In this paper, we argue that in order to clarify these matters we should use the word “form” instead of “firm.” We thus characterize what we call the “V-network form,” a vertical organization distinct from a horizontal network of firms, in which a “hub-firm” or a “flagship-firm” organizes and coordinates regular essential operations such as provision, production and distribution between legally independent entities. Intra-network exchange can be considered “non-market” in that products do not pre-exist the exchange. Consequently, the hub-firm’s economic problem is the provision and control of incentives to the parties in the network while coordinating their complementary capabilities or competences. Various incentive mechanisms substitute formal property rights. We discuss the relation of this organizational form to the “firm versus market” typology and stress that the Vnetwork form is not a “hybrid form.” To the contrary, it is a specific form which is neither the result of market failure nor an extension of hierarchy. We then argue that valuable insights for the theory of the firm may be gained from a thorough empirical and theoretical analysis of the V-network form. Recent work on economic organization may have aspects to offer for such an analysis and we urge for this to continue. In particular, some of these insights may be used as an attempt to clarify the terms of the current debate between the contractual and competence theories of the firm. The approach also inevitably raises questions related to the legal apprehension of the V-network firm." @default.
