| Abstract: | This paper investigates the factors that influence the motives of make-or-buy decisions on information systems from the viewpoints of Transaction cost economics (TCE) and the resource-based view (RBV). Using our original questionnaire survey data carried out in 2007 targeting Japanese firms, we analyze the relationships between the recognition related to the role of their information systems and the pattern of their make-or-buy decisions. As a result, we make it clear that there are two cases in which TCE-motive and RBV-motive are complement or contradict each other. And in latter case, TCE-motive tends to dominate over RBV-motive. Finally, the implications for theory and practice are discussed. |
