Managing in the Modular Age: Architectures, Networ ks, and Organizations

These articles address modularity from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and from multiple levels of analyses. The applicability of original insights to contemporary business environments as well as updates are summarized in fresh commentaries by each author.

The volume itself is designed to be modular. At the same time, it has been designed to highlight key interdependencies across the concepts of modularity, networks, architectures, and organizations. Readers are encouraged to make connections among different domains and to formulate new research questions and hypotheses.

The book includes a commentary co-authored by the late Nobel Laureate Herbert A. Simon, to whom the book is dedicated.
