Abstract
This paper employs a simple stochastic model to investigate how transaction cost and
strategic option considerations interact to influence a firm’s evaluation of collaborative
venturing as a market entry mode. After demonstrating how uncertainty about the market
and about the potential partner can add to the value of a collaborative venture, the paper
explicates a condition under which the option to acquire or sell out generates a positive
economic value for both of the partners. The interaction of transaction cost and strategic
option considerations is then examined, and a number of testable hypotheses are
proposed based on the theoretical analyses of the paper.
