“…; it is not an ad-hoc situation). After all, the advantages brought by combining different classes of organizational arrangements in order to be protected from technological uncertainty are consistent with some of the explanations for plural forms, arising from the strategy literature (for further details, refer to Mols, 2010 andMols, Hans andVilladsen, 2012). As discussed in chapter 2, firms would combine alternative modes of organization in order to absorb or disseminate capabilities from outside suppliers.…”

“…First, when there are homogeneous resources and capabilities across firms and markets, both alternatives should yield a similar performance; and as a result, it does not matter much whether or not the task is internalized (Mols, Hansen & Villadsen, 2012). Second, when there are superior capabilities in the market relative to those available inside the organization, firms could choose to both make and buy in order to absorb and develop those superior capacities (Mols, 2010).…”

“…In the literature about concurrent sourcing and vertical integration, the following factors have been identified as relevant for determining these costs: production costs/capabilities, transaction costs, asset specificity, transaction frequency, uncertainty, incentive and knowledge complementarities between internal and external production, economies and diseconomies of scale, and economies of scope (e.g. Heide et al, 2014;Mols et al, 2012;Parmigiani, 2007;Puranam et al, 2013;Williamson, 1991). For example, the buyer may be subject to diseconomies of scale and may have weaker capabilities than the supplier, and thus vertical integration results in higher production costs (Puranam et al, 2013).…”

Abstract:The term 'concurrent sourcing' refers to the practice of a firm to simultaneously make and buy the same components. This paper presents an agency model for explaining how and when concurrent sourcing reduces the likelihood of external supplier opportunism. In the proposed model, the external supplier's expected costs of opportunism are determined as a product of four factors. These four factors are: buyer's likelihood of discovering supplier opportunism, buyer's internalised quantity as reaction to supplier opportunism, asset specificity of external supplier's investments, and multiplier effects. Each of these factors are explained and discussed in the paper. The paper also offers a number of theoretical and managerial implications.

“…No plano teórico, a análise se sustenta nos trabalhos recentes que discutem a motivação para o uso de formas alternativas de governança, ressaltando que, em alguns mercados em que há elevado grau de incerteza devido à dificuldade de mensuração da qualidade, a tendência será do desaparecimento das relações de "mercado" e, por conseguinte, das formas plurais. Há diferentes explicações para o surgimento dessas formas plurais e fornecem explicações alternativas quanto à sua estabilidade no longo prazo (Arthur, 1989(Arthur, , 1994Lafontaine & Shaw (2005), Azevedo & Silva, 2012;Bradach & Eccles, 1989;Carlton, 1979;Michael, 2000;Heide, 2003;Schnaider, 2011;Mols et al, 2012).…”

This paper aims to study the governance of transactions adopted by fuel distributors with gas station retailers in the state of São Paulo. With the market deregulation, there are plural forms allowed on the market. This paper argues that the plural forms found are transitory, not as a result of increased efficiency and reducedResumo: O trabalho se dedica ao estudo das governanças das transações adotadas pelas distribuidoras de combustíveis no Estado de São Paulo com os postos revendedores varejistas. A partir da desregulamentação do mercado, formas plurais foram permitidas e têm sido recorrentes no mercado. Neste artigo, argumenta-se que as formas plurais encontradas são transitórias, mas que isso não se dá em razão de aumento da eficiência e redução de custos de transação, mas sim pela forma plural ter se tornado um passo estratégico fundamental para alcançar parceiros comerciais e promover maior crescimento da firma. Ademais, argumenta-se que o ambiente institucional apresentou influência significativa na coordenação das formas plurais, interferindo diretamente na estabilidade destas. Palavras IntroduçãoAté o início dos anos noventa, a distribuição de combustíveis no Brasil era fortemente conduzida pelo governo. Operavam no mercado poucas empresas distribuidoras autorizadas e era mantido o monopólio estatal da Petrobras na produção e distribuição de combustível. Além disso, o governo mantinha preços tabelados em todos os elos da cadeia. A partir de 1997, o governo ampliou as medidas liberalizantes no setor, com o objetivo principal de promover o aumento da competitividade. Houve o fim do monopólio estatal, fim do tabelamento de preços e a permissão da entrada de novas firmas no mercado nacional e da importação de combustíveis.Uma das mais importantes alterações no funcionamento deste mercado foi a alteração no modelo de revenda de combustíveis. Até 1997, os postos eram obrigatoriamente atrelados aos distribuidores, dos quais exibiam as marcas, atuando no mercado como unidades de franquia. Desta forma, as transações dos distribuidores com postos se davam por contratos de fidelidade e exclusividade de negociação.
