Abstract
Transaction cost theory TCT is one of the most dominant theoretical perspectives in contemporary businesstobusiness B2B research Our article provides a brief review of this theory and identifies six important contextual considerations for future research These considerations center on the topics of opportunism and governance and are intended to help refine and extend TCT’s theoretical methodological and substantive scope In addition to exploring these particular ideas we also encourage B2B scholars to contemplate ways of enriching TCT to meet the challenges posed by today’s rapidly shifting economic landscape
