The Next Wave of Globalization: Relocating Service Provision to India (2007, background): “Through the standardization process, “pinch points” facilitating handoffs were established, and these facilitated the separation of the work process either geographically, organizationally, or both (Baldwin and Clark 2000; Gereffi et al. 2005; Jacobides and Winter 2005).”
The Architecture of Platforms: A Unified View (2008, methodology): “Thus Baldwin and Clark (2000) found that the computer industry became more vertically disintegrated following the introduction of System/360’s modular architecture.”
Properties of knowledge base and firm survival: Evidence from a sample of French manufacturing firms ☆ (2013, background): “Co-occurrences matrixes are very similar to design structure matrixes (DSM) (Baldwin and Clark, 2000; Murmann and Frenken, 2006; Baldwin, 2007), in that they can be thought as adjacency matrixes in which we are interested not only in the link between the elements, but also by the frequency with whic”
Special Issue on Design and Development: Sourcing By Design: Product Complexity and the Supply Chain (2001, background): “Baldwin and Clark (2000) argue that outsourcing, or selecting existing components from suppliers, may allow a company to benefit from competition among suppliers.”
Let a Thousand Flowers Bloom? An Early Look at Large Numbers of Software App Developers and Patterns of Innovation (2012, unknown): “This pronounced role of heterogeneity in explaining the link between numbers of producers and variety is also consistent with research related to various forms of open and distributed innovation (Baldwin and Clark 2000, Chesbrough 2006, von Hippel 2005).”
High-growth firms and technological knowledge: do gazelles follow exploration or exploitation strategies? (2014, background): “Fleming, L., Mingo, S. and Chen, D., 2007, Collaborative brokerage, generative creativity and creative success, Administrative Science Quarterly, 52, 443-475.”
Product architecture assessment: a tool to link product, process, and supply chain design decisions (2005, background): “Placing their emphasis on the nature and role of the interfaces, instead of the components, Baldwin and Clark (2000) present in their extensive work the mechanisms by which an architecture changes.”
Where do transactions come from? Modularity, transactions, and the boundaries of firms (2007, methodology): “In the language of modularity theory, the common definitions serve as design rules, and, by convention, they appear as a vertical column on the left hand side of the matrix (Baldwin and Clark, 2000).”
Agricultural Value Chains in Developing Countries A Framework for Analysis (2011, unknown): “These mundane transaction costs rise when value chains are producing non-standard products, products with integral product architectures, and products whose output is time sensitive (Baldwin and Clark 2000).”
Community, Joining, and Specialization in Open Source Software Innovation: A Case Study (2003, background): “The literature on commercial software development suggests that " modularization " (Baldwin and Clark, 2000) of the software code may increase a project's transparency, lower barriers to contribute, and allow for specialization by enabling efficient use of knowledge (Khoshgoftaar et al., 2001;…”
How User Innovations Become Commercial Products: A Theoretical Investigation and Case Study (2006, background): “Speaking informally, a design space includes all possible variants in the design of a class of artifact—such as a rodeo kayak.”
