Bundled Transactions of Intellectual Property: An
Explanation for the Choice of Organizational Form in the IT Standard
Setting |
| Summary |
|
In
this thesis I theorized that intellectual property issues inherent
in creating a set of technical specifications give rise to
transaction costs, and that these transaction costs can be moderated
by the choice of governance for the technical specification writing
process. Technical specifications are composed of methods, some of
which may be patented; thus, we conceptualized technical
specifications as bundles of patents. The complexity and internal
specificity of these bundles result in transaction costs, including
search, coordination, procurement, and legal costs. We then
examined how two idealized forms of governance—IP hierarchies and IP
networks—moderate the impact of the bundle characteristics on
transaction costs. Then we discuss the implications of this
knowledge. |
