Abstract

Previous research has mainly focused on the transaction cost view of governance which argues that formal and relational governance mechanisms in interorganizational networks are substitutes. This study extends the work on formal and relational governance in network relationships by developing an integrative framework based on resource-based and relational governance perspectives in order to explain the complementary relationship between formal and relational governance mechanisms. The resource-based and relational governance views argue that formal and relational governance mechanisms function as complements for knowledge creation, knowledge integration and communication in explaining relational outcome. The results from 104 suppliers in the Turkish automotive industry support the complement perspective.
