There have already been a number of managerial and engineering articles that focus on modularity, but none on the issues that the optimal modularity level of complex systems poses in terms of real options and coordination theory. To fill this gap, we develop a modularity profit model based on real options and coordination theory to examine the trade-off between modularity values and costs especially...
This paper intends to develop a system for measuring team member performance in multi-functional R&D projects. Performance, competence and behavior are identified as the first-level measures, consisting of sixteen indicators at the second level. Then we use the survey method to collect data, with effective samples of 162 from thirty multi-functional R&D project teams, and the Group Analytic...
Since supply chain networks are discrete event dynamic systems, Petri-net has been an effective tool for supply chain modeling. Current research on Petri-net based modeling focuses on supply chain design and integration, production planning, inventory control, logistics and distribution. This paper first gives an overview of recent research work in supply chain management involved in all the above...
The flexibility trade-off is one of the most enduring operations management puzzles. This paper applies a theoretical framework of paradox to a trade-off puzzle. A case study method is adopted, and the employment of Causal Loop Diagramming method for qualitative modeling of the paradox and trade-off under investigation and a greater appreciation of the dynamics and subtle ties of the systems and the...
