However, these decisions are also linked to scale, skills, and resources that ICFs may obtain in broader works of services and entities accessible through their relationships with focal providers (Doz and Hamel, 1998 and Gulati, 1998). Consequently, our assessment of these decisions integrates two distinct theoretical perspectives: transaction cost theory and strategic work theory. Transaction cost theory helps us understand how efforts and risks in establishing links with focal logistics service providers are related to expenditures that impact ICFs’ reliance on these specialists. Through strategic work theory, and in accordance with its definition, we can establish how the access offered by focal logistics service providers to worked governance structures shapes ICFs’ relationships with the providers (Granovetter, 1973). This integration adds to extant literature that has independently relied on transaction cost and strategic work theories to conceptualize similar phenomena at a strategic level (., Eccles, 1981, Katz and Shapiro, 1985, Granovetter, 1992 and Jones et al., 1997). The integration builds on work by Amit and Zott (2021), who used exploratory case studies to apply these theories to an Inter setting and concluded that neither of these theories can fully explain by itself value creation across different governance structures present in Inter business models. Therefore, Amit and Zott (2021) posit that transaction cost and strategic work theories plement each other in explaining the emergence of governance structures in Inter settings. Individually, transaction cost theory focuses on an exchange between two parties (., an ICF and a focal logistics service provider) as a discrete event that is valuable by itself, as it reflects the choice of the most efficient governance form and hence contributes to lower the exchange costs incurred by one of the parties, ., the ICF. Strategic work theory plements transaction cost theory because it considers the individual dyadic exchange collectively with other relational links that may acpany that exchange (Amit and Zott, 2021). This does not mean, however, that strategic work theory would bee the dominant research view, thus rendering transaction cost theory irrelevant. By articulating a framework necessary to define the choice regarding the most efficient governance form in the exchange between an ICF and its focal provider, transaction cost theory would actually pave the way for strategic work theory to define whether resources and services available through other links surrounding the ICF–provider exchange would confirm or modify that choice (Amit and Zott, 2021). Within operations management, our assessment of these theories answers calls by researchers to offer a better understanding of (1) decisionmaking mechanisms behind the development of relationships between firms (Mabert and Venkataramanan, 1998) and (2) managerial decisions concerning logistics operations in interfirm relationships (Grover and Malhotra, 2021). As a result, our research contributes to the operationsmanagement literature because it offers a more detailed understanding as t
