Abstract

With increasingly competitive markets and technological advances driving the world towards a 'converging commonality', adopting 'modularity' seems to be more and more appealing for companies and businesses wishing to adapt to various market conditions and to benefit from decentralized innovations. However, the decision to adopt a modular product architecture often comes with a need to carefully analyze the implications of such a decision on the firm's performance, considering the current market state and the future technological shifts. This paper will propose a way to meet this need by constructing mathematical definitions to model the factors influencing the performance of firms before and after adopting modularity.
