N2 - This study explores the impact that formal and relational governance mechanisms have in inducing local suppliers to make transaction-specific investments in foreign and local manufacturers, respectively. Analyses, in this regard, were based on a sample comprised of 77 local supplier/ foreign manufacturer relationships and 57 local supplier/local manufacturer relationships in China. The efficacy of different governance mechanisms, as shaped by local and foreign manufacturers, exerts varying degrees of impact on suppliers' transaction-specific investments.
