In the history process of the division of labor at the society, the property of industrial organization form present an obviously turn into the phenomenon, namely from in simple arrive complicacy, from one-track to the variety. To the research of the inside regulation that property organized form of this kind of turn into is a concern point that study in recent years.Former of cultural heritage or concentrate in the bargain cost angle, limit at build up of bargain kind; Or concentrate in the SCP paradigm, fix attention on under the certain industrial structure, business enterprise variety of behavior competition, will bring how of the equilibrium, and of welfare meaning and efficiency meaning of the. equilibrium; Even the Chicago school of thought reorganize the theories of industry organization with the game-theory, but in the innate character, its is still statics or comparative statics, and did not consider at the circumstance of turbulence and changing, the adaptability problem of particular organized form.See from the history experience, and we can usually discover that after the development stage different industries present the different organized form. The difference of the property of the organized forms, usually is not because of the difference of locate of nation/district but of with the property of the industry itself. That means to a large extent the evolutional difference of industries can be explained by difference of its technological regime.This contribution of the dissertation is to bring into an analytical frame to the adaptability of organization form in the base of combination of horizontal property of industrial difference and lengthways of evolving phenomenon. Organization can be seen as a problem-solving mechanism, and division-of-labor works as the mode of economical development is because it provided the problem-solving way, the process of division-of-labor is a process of problem solution being gradually clear. The adaptability of organization forms is the validity of problem-solving ability of the mode of division-of-labor and coordination to a low cost in the particular problem background.This text treats industry whole as production system that satisfy market's needs, and through the evolutionary process of division-of-labor and coordination on kinds of similar and complementary activities according to property of technique, the particular organization form emerge at both sides of problem-solving and cost-decline in orientation in the property of itself.The fluctuate and dynamic expansion of division system, the continuous technological innovation, urge the market scale continuously extend and the market requirement changing, this bring with the uncertainty and disadaptability to the production organization under certain technological and division-of-labor background. This urges the change of original organization to the new mode of division-of-labor and coordination. The ability of adapting to varying market needs and efficiency advantage in low-cost of new production organization form makes it gradually being copied and spread in other industries and regions, become the dominant form.The emergence of this kind of particular form, is a result of competition among business enterprise, is also the result of competition among kinds of organization form and technique. It is influenced by more factors in the wide scope, such as the influence of human resource condition, financial system characteristic, the social infrastructure, and institution environment, those make it to present certain path-dependence and variety.The introductory first chapter points out the key research problem, brings up the research way and analytical frame, and research method.The second chapter makes a review of relative theory, from Marshal to transaction costs angle, point outing the lack of historicity and neglect of production meaning of organization in main current theory. Through it the research direction of this dissertation be founded.The third Chapter makes a review of industry development history firstly, get out the regulation, and point out the economic foundation: internal economy and external economy of industry development. It points out the research way of division-of labor evolving match the actual history, and brings up three stages of organization evolution: the stageof division of labor emerging, the stage of the work network extending and becoming stable, and the stage of the work network becoming complicated and turbulence. Then the rule of stage of division of labor emerging is analyzed in adoption of production tree method.Chapter 4 discusses the adaptability of organization in the stage of the work network extending and becoming stable, the method of coordination cost is developed and set upping the game-theory model for analyzing coordination cost and mechanism. In the chapter three kinds of coordination mechanism and their coordination efficiency be analyzed: market, firm and agreement. It points out the fit coordination method to be decided by the particular industry property, and gives out dynamic and integrated analysis to both coordination mechanism of market and firm.Chapter 5 discusses the adaptability of organization in the stage of the work network becoming complicated and turbulence. It develops the analysis of information efficiency of organization and build up the analytical frame through micro information mechanism to macroscopic organization form, bringing up the adaptable regulation among the property of technology, market and organization forms. From the angle of the human capital and financial system, further discussion is made and complement the frame of adaptability analysis.Chapter 6 makes a brief summary and brings up a brief policy suggestion.
