Verifying practical validity of TCA to firms  in developing or emerging markets require research  using firms from these markets. This study introduces  a different context for re-examining TCA predictions  (using firms from an emerging market). Survey was  conducted using Tanzanian firms engaging in producer- distributor business relations representing supplier  and buyer firms respectively.Most tested relations  did not reveal significant differences between  developed and emerging markets (insignificant effect  of firms and countries differences) except for  insignificant impact of environmental uncertainty on  vertical coordination. These preliminary findings  suggest  relevance of TCA predictions to both  developed and emerging markets. Further studies need  to involve more countries as well as different set of  relations so as to improve validity of these  findings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844333947\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTesting relevance of transaction cost theory from emerging markets, survey of business-business  relations in Tanzania\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844333947","offer_id":39495945945181,"sku":"9783844333947","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/7dcf8799-7494-44c5-8405-36e559494cc0.jpg?v=1758342835","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/buyer-perceived-opportunism-contracts-and-vertical-coordination-von-emmanuel-chao","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
