Abstract(s)
Transaction cost theory (TCT) is widely used in several management
disciplines. Its value for explaining organizational phenomena and
managers’ decisions is well accepted and has been recognized with two
Nobel laureates (Ronald Coase and Oliver Williamson). In this paper we
examine the impact of the TCT on extant research in top tier management
journals. We conduct a bibliometric study supported in the analysis of
citations and co-citations to uncover the connections between authors and
presumably theories. We conclude that the TCT, albeit its specific focus on
the transactions as the unit of analysis, is present in a majority of
management- and business-related research.
