| | Transaction cost - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This results in some costs — transaction costs — that are not usually taken into account by administrators and managers. | | | Implementing a new information technology is generally seen as a means for reducing the transaction costs of an organisation. | | | In economics and related disciplines, a transaction cost is a cost incurred in making an economic exchange. |

| | "Transaction cost theory and management consulting" by Staffan Canback |
| | Transaction costs, on the other hand, are those costs associated with organising economic activity. | | | The most important internal transaction costs are associated with the administrative cost of determining what, when, and how to produce, the cost of resource misallocation (since planning will never be perfect), and the cost of demotivation (since motivation is lower in large organisations). | | | First, bureaucratic (internal) transaction costs principally stem from the cost of administration, the costs of resource misallocation, and the negative impact of demotivation in large organisations. |

| | Introduction: Transaction Costs, International Organization, and Regime Persistence |
| | Transaction costs have been defined in various ways…Coase (1937) defines transaction costs as the costs of using the price mechanism, which includes the cost of discovering relevant prices, and negotiating and concluding contracts. | | | Moravcsik, however, rejects the assumption of uniformly high transaction costs of bargaining, arguing instead that transaction costs of international cooperation are a function of the extent of political involvement by domestic and transnational groups. | | | To the extent that Moravcsik is correct that transaction costs are a function of the involvement of societal interest groups, mis-estimation of transaction costs could also be a result of plain old political misjudgement. |

| | Translation as a Transaction Cost |
| | Translation can be seen as a specific and variable transaction cost that is subject to economic and ethical constraints. | | | Indeed, NATO's use of transaction costs is so beneficial to its members that the organization continues to exist in the absence of the purpose for which it was originally set up, and now does so by carefully restricting the entry of new members. | | | The higher the total transaction costs, the narrower the scope for agreement and the less happy social life will be. |

| | Beginning with Transaction Costs once again, the product/competency perspective holds the minimization of costs as paramount. | | | These costs involve the inability of other firms to readily replicate the internal web of tacit knowledge interwoven into the social structure of the firm not codified or quantified in any specific product, but is the process of product development itself. | | | In the Transaction Cost vein, a firm will internalize all aspects of production it can perform at a lower cost than the market. |

| | Transaction Cost |
| | A Transaction Cost can be defined as the cost sustained to initiate, manage and close a transaction or a communication with another subject. | | | It can be evaluated measuring both the time spent in the transaction and the actual transaction expenses, It is a common mistake to underestimate (or ignore) the losses due to communication inefficiencies or errors, the low flexibility and low transparency of the transaction process and the potential advantages of communication optimization. | | | Cutweb is a great tool designed to minimize the transaction cost, providing both immediate and long term benefits in term of cost and time savings, higher accuracy, more flexibility and more transparency on transactions. |

| | First, it may be that the "best" equilibrium (say, in terms of reducing transaction costs) is also in the interests of the most powerful actors. | | | In this perspective, actors are driven less by the desire to create institutions to reduce transaction costs, than by the desire to create institutions that provide them with the greatest distributional benefits. | | | But there are an awful lot of institutional arrangements out there that demonstrably have very little to do with efficiency or transaction cost reduction, and an awful lot to do with furthering the interests of social elites. |
