What is Transaction Cost Economics

This chapter introduces a structured approach to writing the manuscript, focusing particularly on the results and discussion section. Many of the core issues and factors that must be considered in the write-up are addressed. Also covered are presentation pitfalls that are commonly encountered. To help conceptualize how the manuscript can synthesized, the author introduces the “V-Model” structure. The model structure explains the connections and relationships between the various portions of a manuscript, what the readers may look for in each section, and outlines some differences between dissertations and journal articles. Finally, several tips are provided on ensuring that each section of the manuscript contains the necessary components and connects with the appropriate sections.
