Abstract

Research Summary

This article explores the relationship between organizational governance and location choices. While the existing literature provides significant intuition regarding the factors that influence these choices, it often assumes that governance and location choice are independent from one another. This article tests the veracity of this assumption in the global semiconductor industry. We report evidence of significant correlations across choices regarding how to govern and where to locate production, evidence of a reciprocal relationship between governance and location choices, and evidence suggesting how interdependence between governance and location choices affects the stability of relationships highlighted by extant theories. We conclude with implications for future theoretical and empirical research based on the existence of these interdependent effects.

Managerial Summary

Managers face difficult choices when deciding how to organize the performance of an activity. They must choose whether to outsource an activity by balancing the potential benefits of a supplier's lower costs or knowledge against the costs of diminished coordination and control. They must also choose where to perform an activity by considering the benefits of locally bound expertise as well as potential costs associated with cultural, legal, and social barriers. While prior research has often addressed these issues by assuming that these choices are independent, this paper demonstrates that governance and location choices are interdependent and that each choice reciprocally affects the other. It concludes by suggesting managers utilize an expanded governance-location choice set when evaluating where and how to manage their core activities.

治理模式和海外选址是否相互独立?
本文探讨了组织治理与区位选择的关系。虽然现有文献对影响这些选择的因素提供了重要的直觉,但它通常假设治理和位置选择是相互独立的。本文在全球半导体行业中检验了这一假设的真实性。我们报告了关于如何治理和在哪里定位生产的选择之间的显著相关性的证据,治理和区位选择之间的互惠关系的证据,以及表明治理和区位选择之间的相互依赖如何影响现有理论所强调的关系稳定性的证据。基于这些相互依存效应的存在,我们总结了对未来理论和实证研究的启示。管理者在决定如何组织一项活动的表现时面临着困难的选择。他们必须通过平衡供应商较低的成本或知识的潜在利益与减少协调和控制的成本来选择是否将一项活动外包。他们还必须考虑当地专业知识的好处以及与文化、法律和社会障碍相关的潜在成本,来选择在哪里开展活动。虽然先前的研究通常通过假设这些选择是独立的来解决这些问题,但本文证明了治理和位置选择是相互依赖的,并且每个选择都相互影响。最后,它建议管理者在评估在哪里以及如何管理他们的核心活动时,利用一个扩展的治理位置选择集。
