Integration versus Outsourcing in Stable Industry Equilibrium with Communication Networks Okamoto, Yusuke 45090 694 JEL:D23 - Organizational Behavior; JEL:D43 - Oligopoly and Other Forms of Market Imperfection JEL:F23 - Multinational Firms; International Business Buyer-supplier relationship Communication networks International　outsourcing Vertical integration Communication Network Industrial management Telecommunication コミュニケーション ネットワーク 企業経営 電信 336 application/pdf IDP000054_001 For the selection of a firm's structure between vertical integration and arm's-length outsourcing, the importance of the thickness of the market had been emphasized in the previous literature. Here we take account of communication networks such as telephone, telex, fax, and the Internet. By doing so, we could illustrate the relationship between communication networks and the make-or-buy decision. With communication network technology differing in each type of firm, both vertically integrated firms and arm's-length outsourcing firms coexist, which was never indicated in the previous literature. However, when common network technology is introduced, such coexistence generically does not occur. technical report Institute of Developing Economies　(IDE-JETRO) 2006-03-01 VoR application/pdf IDE Discussion Paper 54 IDE Discussion Paper https://ir.ide.go.jp/record/38112/files/IDP000054_001.pdf https://doi.org/10.20561/00038107 http://hdl.handle.net/2344/144 https://ir.ide.go.jp/records/38112 eng 世界、その他 Copyrights 日本貿易振興機構（ジェトロ）アジア経済研究所 / Institute of Developing Economies, Japan External Trade Organization (IDE-JETRO) http://www.ide.go.jp
