摘　　要：基于企业边界理论的"内部化"和"外部化"趋向,重点回顾交易成本理论与能力理论的分歧,重新梳理二者之间可相互借鉴的部分。企业边界从内部化转向外部化的过程受到资产专用性、所有权安排、核心能力以及吸收能力的综合影响。资产专用性和核心能力与"内部化"息息相关,而所有权安排和吸收能力与"外部化"紧密相连,企业边界的确定是"内部化"因素与"外部化"因素综合作用的结果。Based on the trend of ＂internalization＂ and ＂externalization＂ in firm boundaries＇ theories, this paper focuses the review of divergence between the theory of transaction costs and the theory of capabilities, and then settles the part of two theories which can be used for reference each other. And finally we find four factors influence synthetically the change of firm boundaries from internalization to externalization： asset specificity, ownership, core capabilities, and absorbing capabilities. Asset specificity and core capabilities is elosely linked to the trends of ＂internalization＂ ; but ownership and absorbing capabilities is related to ＂exterrnalization＂. Therefore, the determinant of firm boundaries is the integrative results of ＂internalization＂ and ＂externalization＂ factors.
