Is Environmental Governance Substantive or Symbolic? An Empirical Investigation (2012, background): “In this respect, governance plays a signiﬁcant role in various investment-related decisions, such as acquisitions (e.g., Cheng 2008), restructurings (e.g., Hoskisson et al. 1994), and the development of innovation (e.g., Kroll et al. 2008; Nickerson and Silverman 2003; Tihanyi et al. 2003).”

Transaction Cost Economics As a Theory of Supply Chain Efficiency (2020, background): “The costs and beneﬁts of adaptation mechanisms have implications for transaction cost efﬁciency and must be incorporated into the analysis of governance decisions (Nickerson and Silverman 2003).”
