Features: Supported by the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" and "Project 211" Construction Program of Southwest University of Finance and Economics, and the Key Phase II Project of "Research on the Frontiers of Management Theory" under the "Project 211" of Southwest University of Finance and Economics. This book analyzes the modular characteristics in the evolution of value chain forms and the evolution of large enterprise forms, and systematically and comprehensively elaborates on the formation and operational mechanisms of modular organizations through the study of value innovation in product modularization, industrial modularization, and the evolution of modular production networks. The content is novel, the explanations are easy to understand, and the book is highly readable.
Chapter 1, Evolution of Enterprise Organizational Forms: Through the analysis of the characteristics of modular organizational coordination methods in the evolution of value chain forms and the evolution of large enterprise forms, a comprehensive understanding of the nature of modular organizations is provided.
Chapter 2, Value Innovation Mechanism of Modular Organizations: Further explores the essence of value innovation in modular organizations.
Chapter 3, Product Modularization: The degree of product modularization influences and determines production methods and coordination methods.
Chapter 4, Industrial Modularization: Industrial modularization is a more advanced stage of the evolution of product modularization production methods.
Chapter 5, Modular Production Networks: Modular production networks are the ultimate goal of the evolution of product and industrial modularization, as well as the ultra-competitive environment for the growth and development of modular organizations.
Chapter 6, Growth and Theoretical Challenges of Modular Organizations: The growth of modular organizations is related to the evolution of large enterprises.
Chapter 7, Discussion on Modular Operations in China's Insurance Industry: Based on an empirical test of whether Chinese insurance companies exhibit economies of scale using a translog cost function model, the reasons for the diseconomies of scale in Chinese insurance companies are identified.
Chapter 8, Conclusions and Implications: Through a systematic study of the formation and operational mechanisms of modular organizations, this book attempts to make some contributions, hoping to provide a small part of support for future theoretical research and practical work.
