Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the role of electronic integration in the insurance industry, investigating how information technology influences the relationships between insurance carriers and independent agents. Drawing from transaction cost economics theory, the author develops a model of electronic integration and tests it using data from two independent samples of insurance agents. The results suggest that the transaction cost determinants, such as asset specificity and product complexity, do not have a significant impact on electronic integration, potentially due to the mitigating effects of information technology capabilities. This book offers valuable insights into the factors that shape interfirm relationships in the insurance industry and raises important questions about the applicability of transaction cost theory in contexts impacted by information technology.
