Citations in the corpus

• MIXED COMPANIES AND LOCAL GOVERNANCE: NO MAN CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS (2012, background): “If credible contracting is feasible (e.g. in a simple market exchange), private management is likely to dominate the other alternatives and internal or external regulation would not be necessary (Williamson 2002).”
• The water-energy-food security nexus through the lenses of the value chain and the Institutional Analysis and Development frameworks. (2015, background): “Participants in value chains have to deal with the hazard of opportunism and bounded rationality when they interact (Williamson, 2002).”
• Transaction Cost Economics: An Assessment of Empirical Research in the Social Sciences (2006, neutral): “If, however, reputation effects work well, increasing transactional frequency will support stronger reputation effects (Williamson 2001).”
• Ethical leadership, trust in leader and creativity: The mediated mechanism and an interacting effect (2018, background): “When employees are confronted with a situation of ‘information impactedness’ (a term that was developed by Williamson, 2002) in which information is known to management but cannot be obtained by employees without a cost, employees may feel vulnerable and retreat to a less risky environment.”
• Firms as Realizations of Entrepreneurial Visions (2007, background): “Transaction cost economics argues that the organizational form is chosen so that transaction costs, hold-up, and post-contractual hazard are minimized and scale economies can be internalized (Coase, 1992; Shelanski and Klein, 1995; Williamson, 2002).”
