Study On The Mechanism Of The Modular Organization's Existence And Performance

Starting with the modular characteristics of value-chain and vertical integrated firms evolving, also based on the value innovation during the evolving from the product modularization to industry modularization and still to the modular product networks, this dissertation researches systematically and fully the mechanism of forming and running about modular organization. In the information aero, by specific division and collaboration of product essence such as technology, knowledge, and institution, modular organization is a highly coordinating organization that can make returns increasing. Because the theory of modular organization could explore the ambiguous views about collection organization such as networks, virtue organization, alliance organization, it makes the study focus on the micro-level of modular organization. And also because it could widen the range about research on the double coordination between market and firm, the theory of modular organization decrease the disadvantage of traditional theories. What's more, it could provide the guidance to improve the firm core competence and to build networks advantages for some industries of auto, suit, retail and finance.Being located on the overlap of the vertical integrated firms and the market, there must be some reasonable explains for the occurrence and growth of the modular organization. But, on the micro aspect, the management research paradigm only focuses on the product integration and it's disintegration; and on the macro aspect the industrial organization theory only emphasizes the market structure, the firm's behavior and performance. Because the main factors which influence the organization's endogenous economic growth, such as human capital, technology, institution, uncertainty, knowledge, relationship, the allocation of resources, the strategy choice and so on, are very complicate, the traditional theory, such as the industrial competition strategy theory, the theory of resource-based view, can't explain the occurrence and growth of the modular organization satisfactorily, especially in such field: (1) the...
