摘要： This paper explores factors that influence information exchange between companies in food supply chains. Specifically, we invest potential impact of transaction attributes and governance structure on information exchange based on the perspectiVe of Transaction Cost Economics. A sample of 158 companies was analyzed by partial least square path modeling. In terms of relative contribution, we found that: (1) A higher level of environmental uncertainty is likely to induce a higher level of transaction specific investments. Meanwhile, it is also likely to induce trust and contractual governance, not directly but indirectly through induced transaction specific investments. However, market uncertainty does not necessarily induce communication willingness and behaviour. (2) Transaction specific investments appear to contribute into inducing trust and contractual governance, but does not necessarily help to improve communication willingness and behaviour. (3) Trust appears to be a reliable and positive indicator for contractual governance and communication willingness, but may not for communication behaviour. (4) Contractual governance does not necessarily help to improve a company's communication willingness and behaviour with its main suppliers. Managerial applications are generalized based on these findings.
