I think this is basically incorrect, but I can't identify why yet, which is worrying.Ronald Coase won a Nobel in economics for the observation that organizations are formed when intra-organization coordination costs are lower than external coordination costs. The corollary here is that as e-commerce cuts external coordination costs, that it decreases the need to be associated with a firm.
