Abstract
Many publications have contributed to create the widely held belief that product modularity is “good”, i.e. holds many performance benefits. However, few of these publications are based on rigorous empirically based research. The focus of this paper is on some of the conditions considered necessary for firms to indeed use product modularity beneficially, in particular inter-functional integration between manufacturing and purchasing, design and sales, respectively. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the direct performance effects of modularization, as well as the mediating effects of the three forms of integration in the modularization-performance relationship.
