The Mirroring Hypothesis: Theory, Evidence and Exceptions (2016, background): “However, more broadly, the components of a technical system include all the tasks and decisions required to design, operate, and maintain the system (Baldwin, 2008; Arthur, 2009; Puranam et al., 2012).”
Disruptive Innovation: An Intellectual History and Directions for Future Research (2018, unknown): “We wonder whether a possible connection between disruptive innovation theory and systemic industries relates to the modularity of product architectures (Baldwin, 2008; Baldwin and Clark, 2000).”
The Architecture of Platforms: A Unified View (2008, background): “In particular, fixing the interfaces between components creates specific thin crossing points in the network of relationships between the elements of the system (Baldwin, 2008).”
Managing technological change in the digital age: the role of architectural frames (2014, background): “…technology and innovation management research (von Hippel, 1990; Schilling, 2000; Ulrich and Eppinger, 2003; Langlois, 2006; Murmann and Frenken, 2006; Baldwin, 2008), we have introduced the notion of architectural frames to address limitations to manage technological change in the digital age.”
Technology Ecosystem Governance (2014, background): “What remains stable through the evolution of the platform are the interfaces or thin crossing points (Baldwin, 2008) that govern interaction between the layers (Baldwin & Woodard, 2008).”
Service, services and products: rethinking operations strategy (2009, background): “Baldwin and Clark’s analysis offers some powerful insights and establishes the idea of MTCs. However, it is fundamentally a static view, taking the total set of activities to be performed, and their respective MTCs, as stable phenomena. Langlois (2006) has drawn our attention to the “secret life” of”
What Firms Make vs. What They Know: How Firms' Production and Knowledge Boundaries Affect Competitive Advantage in the Face of Technological Change (2012, background): “It would also be interesting to explore how performance is impacted by the interaction of production choices with design choices (Ulrich and Ellison, 2005; Baldwin, 2008).”
The firm as an epistemic community: The knowledge based view revisited (2010, background): “As Carliss Baldwin (2008) recently emphasized, the optimal governance of combination, i.”
Evolutionary Competition in Platform Ecosystems (2015, background): “A developer’s choice of the degree of extension modularization can plausibly be affected by extension complexity, age, its platform specificity (Baldwin 2008), interdependence with other extensions, compliance with platform’s design rules, its developer’s experience with the platform, and the…”
Research Commentary - Platform Evolution: Coevolution of Platform Architecture, Governance, and Environmental Dynamics (2010, background): “Building on the synthesis by Baldwin and Woodard (2009) of the commonalities across these conceptualizations, we define a softwarebased platform as the extensible codebase of a softwarebased system that provides core functionality shared by the modules that interoperate with it and the interfaces th”
Technology, Identity, and Inertia Through the Lens of "The Digital Photography Company" (2009, background): “…may be required (Chesbrough and Rosenbloom 2002, Tripsas and Gavetti 2000); the optimal modular boundaries and degree of vertical integration may change (Baldwin 2008, Jacobides et al. 2006); and different alliance networks may be appropriate (Rosenkopf and Nerkar 2001, Rothaermel and Boeker 2008).”
The consumer production journey: marketing to consumers as co-producers in the sharing economy (2018, background): “In such a flexible, modularized structure, selective more well-defined tasks can be co-produced by consumers while other tasks can be offered by the firm (Baldwin 2007).”
