The Impact of Uncertainty on Transaction Cost in Constructio
发布时间：2022-08-11 11:05
在当今动态变化的环境中,施工建设单位必须学会在适当时间制定战略并成功实施,针对组织的持续调查研究对此问题提供了思路。尽管施工建设单位在确定项目的成本和设计-招标-建造（DBB）项目招标价格估算中投入了大量的时间和精力,但成本超支仍是建筑行业中普遍存在的问题。在合同关系中,如果项目所有者的成本同时也是客户的成本,交易双方交换合同价格。但问题在于成本不止有生产成本,还有项目所有者产生的交易成本,交易成本（TC）是由于项目合同而产生的成本,它的隐性性质使得从业者难以识别和控制,很大程度上提高了建筑项目的总成本。总之,项目具有不确定性,由于第二方机构负责项目运营也使项目在承包过程面临很大不确定性。项目涉及多个利益相关者,如设计师、顾问、承包商和客户等,由于合同未能实现也增加了额外成本的风险。施工建设单位经常将项目外包,他们需要了解交易成本增加的原因才能相应地做出是否“制造”或“购买”合同服务的重大决策。借鉴交易成本经济学（TCE）理论,本文重点关注公共部门建筑行业,涉及不同性质和规模的建筑项目的DBB合同服务。许多研究学者已应用交易成本经济学理论（TCE）解决这一问题,并在多个国家出版了书籍,...
