If progressive de-integration of firms can be interpreted in terms of relative variations in transaction and production costs, specialization, and structural and strategic heterogeneity do not. In order to analyse the characteristics and the mechanisms that ground firms ’ concentration on both specific technological contexts and particular functions along the value chain, the processes of management and generation of knowledge have to be taken into account. Throughout this work, we will stress as the choice to specialize derives from the decision on management of learning processes enabled by the interaction between the agents who compose the organizational structure. The approach followed is that of defining the firms ’ structure based on ...
