“…However, a tradeoff may exist between the corporate need to reduce costs in the short-run and the strategic importance of directly controlling R&D activity in the long run, especially for firms in high-tech sectors (Suárez-Villa and Walrod 2003). Studying the French industry, other authors argue that contractors are likely to subcontract standardized R&D tasks (rather than novel technology) because the TC associated with these routine tasks are probably low (Dhont-Peltrault and Pfister 2011).…”

Recent decades have witnessed substantial changes in the organisation of production, leading towards interconnected production and the contracting out of activities at an increasingly global scale. In this chapter we review the literature on subcontracting relationships with a focus on organisational structures, antecedents and the spatial dimension in such relations. Over the last decades, subcontracting relationships have become more widespread, have evolved in several characteristics, and have become progressively more complex. We argue that subcontracting can not be explained well as a general phenomenon but requires distinctions among different forms, dimensions, and relations. We point to major questions that research in this area should address in the future. *We are grateful for very helpful comments and suggestions from Anna Grandori.

The e-economy is part of a larger phenomenon, technocapitalism, that is transforming business organizations and the ways in which they transact, produce, and ship their goods. Technocapitalism is an evolution of market capitalism that is rooted in technological innovation and supported by such intangibles as creativity and knowledge. This paper considers first the main characteristics of networks that support the e-economy and its source phenomenon, the emergence of technocapitalism. Networks are thought to be the main vehicle through which the e-economy spreads, and they have major effects on the organization of business firms. The culture of technocapitalism, with its emphasis on continuous innovation and rapid adjustment, is largely behind the rising importance of networks. A second section then considers the deconstruction of business firms and its relation to networks, the e-economy, and the rise of technocapitalism. A historical perspective is provided to show the contrast with previous eras. The deconstruction of business organizations involves a major transformation of the norms and ways in which firms are run and structured. Finally, the likely implications for transportation and shipping of the rise of the e-economy, its networks, and the deconstruction of firms are discussed. The logistics, pricing, and infrastructure of shipping are likely to be substantially affected by the spread of the e-economy, its networks, and the deconstruction of firms.
