In many industries, changes in products and technologies have brought with them new kinds of firms and forms of organization. We are discovering news ways of structuring work, of bringing buyers and sellers together, and of creating and using market information. Although our fast-moving economy often seems to be outside of our influence or control, human beings create the things that create the market forces. Devices, software programs, production processes, contracts, firms, and markets are all the fruit of purposeful action: they are designed. Using the computer industry as an example, Carliss Y. Baldwin and Kim B. Clark develop a powerful theory of design and industrial evolution. They argue that the industry has experienced previously unimaginable levels of innovation and growth because it embraced the concept of modularity, building complex products from smaller subsystems that can be designed independently yet function together as a whole. Modularity freed designers to experiment with different approaches, as long as they obeyed the established design rules. Drawing upon the literatures of industrial organization, real options, and computer architecture, the authors provide insight into the forces of change that drive today's economy. 001387253 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001387253 650_0 $$aElectronic digital computers$$xDesign and construction$$xHistory. 001387253 650_0 $$aModularity (Engineering) 001387253 650_0 $$aComputer industry$$xHistory. 001387253 650_0 $$aIndustrial organization. 001387253 653__ $$aDESIGN/Industrial Design 001387253 653__ $$aBUSINESS/General 001387253 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001387253 7001_ $$aClark, Kim B. 001387253 852__ $$bebk 001387253 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/2366.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001387253 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001387253 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1387253$$pGLOBAL_SET 001387253 980__ $$aBIB 001387253 980__ $$aEBOOK 001387253 982__ $$aEbook 001387253 983__ $$aOnline
