Outline of Final Research Achievements |
All firms are faced with the question of with whom to initiate business relationships. Starting a business relationship whose future success or failure is uncertain is a risk in the sense that future events are probabilistic. This study asks why some firms are highly motivated and willing to engage in a proposed business relationship that offers the same economic benefits, while others are less motivated and reject the proposal. This study formulated a conceptual framework that incorporates regulatory focus factors that indicates the motivation of decision makers into the framework of the transaction cost model in the distribution channel and conducted an empirical study.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の大きな知見は、経済的な便益が同じであっても、意思決定者の制御焦点が促進焦点であるか予防焦点であるかによって、取引関係開始のオファーを受諾するか否かが変化することを示したことである。この知見は、経済学ベースの取引費用論の応用領域を制御焦点理論を組み合わせることによって拡張できる可能性を示した点で学術的に意義がある。また、経営的示唆として、流通チャネルにおいて新たな取引相手と取引関係を築こうとする企業は、提案相手の制御焦点を加味したオファーが必要になることも提案できた。
