Définitions
oppotunism: “Opportunism is often defined as “”self-interest seeking with guile”" leading to shirking, lying and other unethical behavior on the part ofthe agent or the principal (5, 8. 34).”
asset specificity: “The degree to which an asset can be redeployed without sacrificing its productive value if the contract is to be interrupted or prematurely terminated.
Because the “”next best use”" value of a specific asset is much lower, the investor would lose part of its investment if the transaction was not completed. This
creates a lock-in situation where the other party (not investing) could extract an advantage from the investor by threatening to withdraw from the
transaction (5).”
performance metrics: “Define expectations in the contract. Metrics establish
what is expected and what happens if expectations are not met. Use metrics that support business goals. If cost-effectiveness is a major decision driver, include
contract provisions to encourage the vendor to reduce costs for the agency. Contracts can also use incentives to encourage vendors to surpass performance requirements. Cost increases due to the addition of other services from the vendor are avoided if
expectations are defined so the scope of work is clear (47, p. 22).”
