Overview

Analysis reveals contract design influences governance effectiveness in Chinese manufacturers, suggesting IT capability mitigates interpretive uncertainty.

Key Points

  • Contractual governance is significantly impacted by contract design and interpretive uncertainty, highlighting the importance of cognitive frames.
  • Results show behavior-based contracts increase contract ineffectiveness while output-based contracts decrease it under high interpretive uncertainty.
  • Analysis using ordinary least squares on data from 200 Chinese manufacturers demonstrates these findings clearly.
  • Identifying IT capability as a crucial factor suggests it can improve contractual governance by addressing interpretive uncertainty.
