This abstract extends the merger and acquisition (M&A) model of Georgantzas, Schmid, & Walton (1994), showing the dynamic evolution of markets into hierarchies or other transactional exchange governance (TEG) forms resulting from the creation of a climate of trust and its effect on the internalization cost of control. The extended M&A model offsets the shortcomings of transaction cost economics (TCE) and points to the potentially rich contribution of system dynamics to exploring governance structures beyond the ideal-type forms of markets and hierarchies that dominate the TCE literature.
