Abstract

(VF)Cet article présente une analyse des déterminants des stratégies d’intégration et de désintégration verticale sur un échantillon de 200 entreprises industrielles résidant en France. À partir de l’exploitation de réponses à un questionnaire, l’estimation d’un modèle probit bivarié met en évidence deux résultats principaux : d’abord, la spécificité des actifs impliqués dans la relation influence significativement le choix d’organisation verticale ; ensuite, ce choix est lié à la phase du cycle de vie de l’industrie à laquelle appartient le secteur d’activité considéré, et ce conformément à la prévision de Stigler (1951).(VA)This paper provides an empirical analysis of the determinants of vertical integration and vertical disintegration strategies for a group of 200 manufacturing firms located in France. Using data obtained from a survey, we estimate a bivariate probit model and find two main results:firstly, asset specificity helps to explain vertical integration, while asset standardization helps to explain vertical disintegration;secondly, strategic choice is directly related to the stage of the industry life cycle, the relation being correctly predicted by Stigler (1951).
