Abstract
This study applies transaction cost approach to identify and explicate the key differences that identify three generic forms of governmental mode—administrative corporation, outsourcing, and deregulation. It shows that under specific conditions, these three generic forms can be chose to provide the greatest benefit. From 2003 to 2008, Central Personnel Administration (CPA) used these three generic forms for its organizational restructuring of training institution of Executive Yuan. This study establishes the form choice standards for the three generic forms and examines whether the decision of CPA is theoretically correspond with them or not. This thesis codifies three key issues in discrete structure alternatives choice: how asset specificity affects choice; whether the decision of CPA is correspond with the circumstances distinguishing the three generic forms, and whether the decision CPA made for training institution of Transportation and Communications copes up with transaction cost theory. The research discovered that, based on the technical efficiency and agent efficiency derived from asset specificity and transaction cost incurred from alternatives of organization choice, CPA’s decision has totally neglected agent efficiency and taken inconsistent discrete structure choices. A special attention should be paid to the influence of the political and economic environment of different training authorities and the enforcement motivated by non-rational or non-economic considerations from decision maker.
