产品模块化对组织绩效的影响：中国情境下的实证研究

产品模块化问题越来越引起学术界和企业界的重视,但是理论上关于产品模块化能否提升组织绩效以及其作用机制尚不清晰。在理论推演的基础上,通过实证研究探讨了产品模块化对组织绩效的不同影响机制。研究发现,产品模块化除了直接影响企业的短期绩效外,还会通过提高企业的门槛能力和重要性能力来提升短期绩效水平;另一方面,产品模块化通过提高技术创新水平来提升企业的未来性能力进而影响增长绩效。创新之处在于,对之前学者的研究模型做了进一步的整合与发展,证明了处于经济转型的中国情境下,产品模块化对企业短期绩效和增长绩效的不同影响机制。最后讨论了本研究对当前管理实践的启示和未来研究方向。

The Effect of Product Modularity on Organization Performance: An Empirical Study in Chinese Context

Abstract:Product modularity has been paid more attention by academic field and corporations in recent years,but how product modularity influence organizational performance is still not clear in theory. Through theoretical induction,we test the hypothesis using Chinese firm data and try to explore the different mechanism of influence from product modularity on organizational performance. The conclusion inferred that product modularity can influence short-term performance directly and through the mediating role of threshold capability and critical capability indirectly. On the other hand,product modularity would increase the level of technological innovation which improved corporate competitive capability and long-term performance. The creative point in the paper is that we integrate the previous model and explore the different mechanism of product modularity on short-term and growth performance. Finally,we talked about the implication for the managerial practice and future research.
