The focus of this paper is on discussing the modularity concept through an in-depth
and critical analysis of the wide literature on the subject. The identification of
three main streams of research, which most of the literature can be inserted in,
will be finally used to propose a conceptual reading of the process of modularisation
in its main stages and dynamics.

During the last years a debate has raged within the field of Strategic Management
between a rational view (IO, Positioning School, Strategic Planning, Cybernetics)
and a Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) view (Emergent strategies,complexity theory,
chaos theory) of the field. This paper attempts to shed some light around an issue
which must be clarified for the better development of such debate. Being the CAS
view a response to the new realities of environmental turbulence, it was discussed
which are the behavioral sources of such turbulence in order to clarify if such phenomena
is a qualitatively new reality of business environments, or simply a contingent but
circumstantial feature affecting many industries. For this purpose, the authors introduced
and applied a theoretical model that conceives the strategy of the firm, as a dialectic
process in a situation of conflict.

Единственная книга по корпоративной культуре, которая позволяет исследовать культуру с помощью цифр. При использовании представленной рамочной структуры конкурирующих ценностей в процессе преподавания и консультирования предприятий обычным отзывом является такое высказывание: "Ну, наконец-то, мы поняли, как с ней (культурой) управляться, а то все слова, да слова".

The paper discusses the relationship between globalization and, modularization and
outsourcing in the
auto industry. It maintains that modularity is a broad concept, applicable and applied
to product
design, manufacturing and organization and that modularization is a strategy aimed
at reducing the
complexity stemming from globalization of products, markets and production. However,
modularity
has only recently moved its first steps in auto design and manufacturing and is a
vaguely defined
and ambiguously used concept in the auto industry.
The paper suggests that, in the auto industry, economic and institutional factors
related to
globalization represent key drivers of modularization as much as technology. Besides,
as the auto
industry globalize, modularization and outsourcing, though remaining conceptually
distinct, tend to
become, in practice, increasingly inseparable.

How important is competition in the product market to the economic performance of
the firm? How important is the corporate governance structure of the firm to its
performance? How does external competition interact with corporate governance to
influence firm performance? These questions are posed in a dramatic way in transition
economies because product market competition and profit-seeking organizations with
new ownership structures were both introduced within a short time period. This paper
does not answer these questions. Its aim is to bring together the several often separate
literatures that discuss the issues. In the first part, the competition-performance
link in theory and empirical work is examined. In the second part, the ownership
and governance structures in the firm and in particular, those that affect the key
performance-related decision-making processes are investigated. In the third part,
the sparse attention given in the literature to the possible interaction between
external market pressures and corporate governance structures is considered. In each
section, reference is made first to the theory and evidence from outside transition
and second to transition-specific models and evidence.

Carpenter/Sanders is the first book built around a dynamic perspective on strategy. Three themes constitute the dynamic perspective on strategy: (1) changing strategies for changing times, (2) the integration of formulation and implementation, and (3) strategic leadership. Crafting Business Strategy for Dynamic Contexts- chapter 6 is the aggregate of much of the current research on dynamic strategies, including: Competitive Dynamics, Technological Changes, and Hypercompetition . After reading the chapter, students will learn models that guide them through formulating and implementing a strategy in a dynamic, or changing, environment. Strategy Diamond: The strategy diamond outlines five key elements necessary for creating a complete strategy: arenas, vehicles, differentiators, staging, and economic logic. The Strategy Diamond gives students a concrete model for considering all aspects of a strategy in order to create and implement a complete strategy. The arenas and staging elements deal specifically with the dynamic aspect of strategy. How Would You Do That” exercises- There are two of these robust exercises in each chapter, immersing students in the implementation challenges real companies face. The exercises allow implementation to remain in the forefront of the student’s minds even in the formulation chapters. Market- For undergraduate/MBA strategic management courses.

Successful innovation depends on the development and integration of new knowledge
in the innovation process. In order to successfully innovate, the firm will combine
different innovation activities. In addition to doing own research and development,
firms typically are engaged in the acquisition of knowledge on the technology market
and cooperate actively in R&D with other firms and research organizations. In this
paper the authors provide evidence on complementarity between different innovation
activities. Using data from the Community Innovation Survey on Belgian
manufacturing firms, the authors show that firms that are only engaged in a single
innovation
strategy, either internal R&D activities or sourcing technology externally, introduced
fewer new or substantially improved products compared to firms which combine
internal and external sourcing. This result is consistent with complementarity between
own R&D and external technology sourcing activities. Furthermore, the authors show
that the
different innovation activities are strongly positively correlated and identify common
drivers, resulting in the perceived complementarity between these innovation
activities. An important finding is that a capacity to strategically protect intellectual
property and a more basic R&D base which may serve as an absorptive capacity, are
important common drivers for the different innovation activities.

User information is an important source of user-centered innovation. Through
the investigation of 47 user-centered case studies collected from leading design
consulting firms, this study aims to establish the relationship between user-research
and design innovation, to identify the research characteristics and analytic models
critical to each innovation situation, and to discuss where, why, and how the research
and analysis should be done so that information is gathered efficiently and is available
to the team at the right time in the multi-disciplinary design process. This study
suggests new approaches to user-research planning, an alternative mental model of
design innovation, and a different way of describing user-research in relation to
design innovation. The investigation reveals how user-research should be planned,
conducted and tailored for each innovation situation.

This paper attempts to map out the learning routines of organizations in adapting
their
decision-making processes to the emerging market environment of China. The ability
to
increase the speed and quality of learning through conscious exploitation of learning
routines
would bring about better performance faster and hence would be of strategic importance
to
the firm. The findings have shown that this can be achieved through improving the
efficiency
of learning routines, e.g. through intentional learning, the employment of experienced
decision-making agents, or better timing of actions and interventions. Strategic
time concepts
are found to be extremely relevant.

Performance appraisal and managing performance are they one and the same or
fundamentally different? The first suggests a reactive stance while the second
indicates proactivity. Although effective performance management has been touted
as
the key lever for change that may boost individual and team accomplishment in
organisations, the results will be limited if it is a case of old wine in new bottles.
Specifically, the preliminary results of two case studies indicate that performance
management systems operate in the same way as old performance appraisals. Some
interviewees perceived that knowing how to play the corporate game was as
important as performing well. Those who play the game well, were perceived as
advancing in the organisation, while those who performed but did not play the game
were left confused about their performance, and subsequently, their future. Initial
data analysis suggests that if managers want to introduce more innovative ways of
managing performance, the solution could be in the level and frequency of informal
feedback occurring between managers and employees.

This paper attempts to analyze the association between corporate governance - measured
by the exercise of control by larger shareholders and the board of directors- and
corporate entrepreneurship for businesses quoted on the Madrid Stock-Exchange. Under
the hypothesis of management opportunist behavior and being consistent with agency
theory, this paper contrasts the existence of a greater corporate entrepreneurship
when an effective control over the management does not exist, and the executives
are significant shareholders. Thus, the authors examine two sources of influence
on managerial support for corporate entrepreneurship: the firms ownership structure
and its governance system. Their objective was to understand how firm characteristics
-in terms firm corporate governance attributes- influences the decisions about entering
in new businesses or markets.
