- Abstract
The markets and hierarchies paradigm holds out the promise of a general theory of the conditions under which organizations come into existence. This paper argues that the two most influential statements of the paradigm (Williamson's and Ouchi's) rest on different--indeed competing--assumptions regarding human motivation. A viable program of research requires that the differences and their implications be carefully spelled out and confronted empirically.
