부패 가능성과 조직설계

초록

This paper studies how the possibilities of corruptions such as collusion and extortion affect the choice of organizational mode. The principal may integrate or separate the tasks of planning and implementation of a project. Corruption becomes an issue only when the principal chooses to separate the tasks. When the tasks are separated, the planning agent, who obtains private information, may collude with or extort the implementation agent. We show that there are two ways in which the principal deters extortion. One is to over-compensate the truth-telling planning agent. The other is to provide the implementation agent, who does not have any private information, with rent. We also identify the conditions under which the principal chooses to separate the tasks.
