  • In order to analyze the institutional evolution process of international shipping organization, four kinds of typical forms, such as liner conference, discussion agreement, consortium, strategic alliance, and the evolution mechanism of international shipping organization were studied.Two institutional patterns of induced change and mandatory change for shipping organizations were compared based on transaction cost theory.Analysis result indicates that transaction costs exist in the processes of formulation and change of shipping organization.Cost margin, friction cost as well as opportunity cost are the specific forms of transaction cost in its evolution process.Because of transaction costs, shipping organization institution is non-equilibrium, and its development involves a changing and non-equilibrium process.
