40、市場結構的可選擇因素，將運行特點和關鍵價值主張與B2B 網站的經濟原則相聯(lián)系;有關他們在B2B領域里處理產品和市場方面的問題，并從早先的研究中得到確鑿證據(jù)。</p><p>　　基于這些考慮，作為分類的因素，我們確定了分散資產的特殊性，產品評估的復雜性，價值評估的復雜性。在B2B市場，為解決分散的供應鏈，范圍大幅增加提供了新的替代品。在減少交易成本方面，介紹了相應的資產特異性變化。此外，資產專用性，可以成為一個有

41、用的屬性來區(qū)分市場結構。深度定制能力能幫助企業(yè)減輕復雜性，解決在產品說明和價值評估方面出現(xiàn)的問題。</p><p>　　碎片程度:市場中的碎片程度是由市場參與者的數(shù)量和地理分布來決定的。碎片程度的這一定義的主要動機是買家或供應商在市場上可以發(fā)揮的控制或影響的程度。碎片可能存在于買賣雙方中的任何一方，或兩者兼而有之。我們確定了四個子市場參與者的碎片分類。在市場中，破碎化程度分為幾個行為模式，當供應商和買家方面都出現(xiàn)

42、較高的碎片程度時，市場趨向于以開放和競爭為導向的控制機制的機會市場。然而，當破碎化程度很低時，企業(yè)往往從協(xié)作而不是控制的做法中受益。</p><p>　　資產專用性:資產專用性是在兩個市場的參與者之間建立關系成本函數(shù)，以便用成本效益的方式管理商業(yè)交易。成本因特定資源 （資產） 的出現(xiàn)而產生，兩個市場的參與者必須事先部署，以辦理業(yè)務。這些投資可以是用在機床，模具，信息系統(tǒng)方面，或投資給那些具有特殊技能的人。顯然，這

43、些所有的投資都是特定于兩個市場參與者之間不可逆的關系。</p><p>　　例如，對一個飛機制造商來說，在引擎從供應商采購的情況下，飛機制造商的資產專用性將會很高。另一方面，飛機制造商不需要特定的投資購買辦公文具。</p><p>　　這對市場參與者的行為具有重要影響。當資產專用性高時，市場參與者會有更好地參與協(xié)作的做法和優(yōu)越的協(xié)調機制。另一方面，當資產專用性非常低時，市場競爭力的做法和關

44、系基礎上的價格使買家和供應商雙方受益。考慮到中期資產的具體情況，合作和競爭混合的準市場機制對市場參與者來說是可行的替代方案。</p><p>　　圖中顯示了在市場結構的基礎上的分類碎片和資產專用程度。資產特異性和破碎化程度有直接的關系，尤其是在極端的情況下，當資產專用性非常低的情況下，市場很可能是高度分散的。故而，兩個對角線網格位置是不相關的，我們的12個市場結構分類屬于這兩個三維框架。該框架表明，當市場參與者的

45、碎片程度高時，中立的市場結構是適當?shù)?。雖然這是在一般的情況下，框架仍然不夠明確，但是并不表明當時組織應使用這些中性的市場。在現(xiàn)實中，其他因素對一個中立市場結構的影響，比其他的選擇的影響更高。</p><p>　　中立市場的分類:受幾個因素的影響，中性市場對于市場流動性的承受能力較差。其中最為突出的是產品描述的復雜性和價值評估的復雜性。顯然，在涉及復雜產品特性的情況下，電子市場擁有更大的價值。</p>

46、<p>　　產品描述的復雜性：產品描述的復雜性與信息的數(shù)量相關。買方需要去了解產品或服務的功能和技術規(guī)范。例如，對汽車的描述是非常復雜的。同樣，機票是產品描述復雜性的另一個案例。有眾多替代路由和幾個條件都連接到每一類票價結構的替代品。電子元件，軸承和閥門，以及許多目錄項，也可以將中級復雜性引入到高級復雜性，因為他們的產品種類繁多，涉及到每個品種的詳細技術和商業(yè)規(guī)格也可以引進。此外，這么大一個菜單上的產品所引起的額外費用與保持

47、價格單和反復溝通價格變化表（通常稱為菜單成本）。</p><p>　　價值評估的復雜性：價值評估的復雜性是指信息的數(shù)量需要準確地估計項目的價值可以到達的價格，或選擇項目提供一個價格。評估一個新產品的價值比評估二手物品和獨特產品的價值更容易一些。此外，就商品而論沒有產品復雜性描述的產品會造成價值評估的復雜性。有幾個因素導致了這種復雜性的出現(xiàn)：第一，通過買賣雙方的出價和要價，價格制定機制可以是動態(tài)的。這些市場經營的好

48、處是市場參與者可以直接體會到不同大小的市場的功能。二是在拍賣和交流的情況下才作出選擇所需的信息和預評估金額。最后，信息不對稱問題也導致了價值評估的復雜性。電子市場將會很大程度上減少這些問題，并有助于減少價值評估的復雜性。</p><p>　　圖中所顯示的中立市場的分類就是以這個為基礎的。目錄聚集旨在解決在產品描述方面所產生的復雜性問題。另一方面，交換價值評估解決了由此產生的動態(tài)定價的問題。交流帶來了大量的買家和賣

49、家并促進了貿易。拍賣網站解決了中等復雜產品描述以及價值評估，通過匯集社區(qū)的競買人與拍賣人，使電子通信提高市場的流動性。</p><p>　　管理啟示:該框架提出了替代的觀點如何組織才能夠從這些市場結構中獲益的問題?？紤]到，在產品描述和價值評估方面涉及到高分散性和復雜性的問題。一個心臟病專家如何通過一個高度專業(yè)化的心臟疾病手術來確定該領域的發(fā)展前沿，包括新技術的有關診斷，藥物治療和外科手術。軟件開發(fā)商如何為世界范圍

50、內的組織編寫商務程序，以解決他們在編碼和調試他們的軟件面臨的問題？做高科技專用設備的制造商如何運用國家最先進的研發(fā)技術和所開發(fā)的產品去吸引潛在用戶進行購買？在傳統(tǒng)的市場中，這些人由于受到產品特色的復雜性和價值評估問題的影響，并由于較高的碎片度，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)與那些在各自領域的專家進行網絡聯(lián)系幾乎是不可能的。該框架表明，在涉及到產品復雜性描述和價值評估的特性的情況，在線社區(qū)下對提高市場的流動性能夠期待很大的作用。</p><

51、p>　　該框架還表明，只有在有關案件項目資產專用性非常低時，聯(lián)盟市場才會產生作用。通常情況下，一個聯(lián)盟市場的重點收入集中在那些大交易量所存在的行業(yè)。這就減少了談判和擠壓利潤的機會。因此，市場參與者不愿意在關系專用資產上大幅投資。因此，聯(lián)盟市場組織中高資產專用性的項目是不太可能成功的。</p><p>　　在很多情況下，需要結合虛實結合的策略。該框架表明，這些情況包括產品特性相當復雜和價值評估困難的情況，例如

52、，考慮到資本設備和維修的情況下的服務的采購。</p><p>　　通常情況下，在傳統(tǒng)市場中，幾個中介渠道通過與提供設備和服務的供應商和買家合作以提高流動性，然而，電子通訊和電子經紀效果可以幫助組織制訂一套新型的虛實相結合的策略。電子市場，最終可能導致非中介化的這些渠道伙伴去精心調配虛實結合策略。</p><p>　　對于該框架的驅散概念，每一個組織發(fā)現(xiàn)只有一個或兩個市場結構很有用。為此，管

53、理人員必須開始對他們在資產專用性不同的高、 中、 低級別的B2B市場所采購得商品和服務進行分類。</p><p>　　為了那些屬于高資產特性的產品和服務，他們需要在電子市場結構的基礎上建立更緊密的集成。融合到中組織有戰(zhàn)略上畫一個藍圖，他們將如何利用所有這些市場結構派生價值。例如，主要供應商和經紀人應被鼓勵去參與主題方案網絡。爭取貿易伙伴的主題方案網絡是一個具有挑戰(zhàn)性的任務。管理人員需要構建參與這種市場的參與者的激

54、勵機制。這些可能包括共享重要的商業(yè)和技術信息，主要是通過網絡共享收益，共享由降低成本所帶來的收益，甚至在放出其它傳統(tǒng)渠道之前，并在這種市場舉辦私人拍賣的過剩和過時的項目。</p><p>　　在中等資產專用性的情況下，管理者能夠從所從事的更具競爭力的機制中和與其建立密切貿易關系的貿易伙伴中發(fā)現(xiàn)更多價值。例如，供應商定制有著低等或可轉讓工具的組件可能被要求參加一個反向拍賣，并將與其他一些精心選定的供應商通過一場強有

55、力的詢價過程。在資產專屬性非常低的情況下，項目經理將檢查供應鏈的碎片，并對他們的方法進行相應的更改。將供應鏈的一方面上的更低碎裂與另一邊的更高碎裂連在一起，將驅使他們在原有的基礎上建立一個社團市場，在涉及中立電子市場時，一些供應商可能會采用更具競爭力的采購決定。</p><p>　　作者：mahadevan，B 1 mahadev@iimb.emet.in</p><p>　　來源：加州管
