【Abstract】 Based upon literatures about the history of business administration, the paper explores the origin of internal markets, and argues that large and multi-units enterprises made transfer pricing an important aspect of business administration, and that it is the multi-divisional structure which transformed transfer prices into coordination mechanisms and thus gave birth to the internal market. The paper also points out that the methods of internal pricing increased and that internal monopolies have been broken by the competition inside the enterprises as the multi-divisional structure evolved, and that internal markets have been used by enterprises to coordinate internal services as while as primary activities since 1980. Finally, the paper makes clear and describes three challenges by the internal market to business adminstration and economics, i.e. the challenge to the proposition about the nature of the firm by R. Coase, the challenge to management paradigm, and that to the logic completeness of transaction cost economics.更多还原
