Known for
Servitization and the organization of service and platform operations.
Ideas
Front- and back-end design. With Raja, Johnson, and Beltagui, found that front-end and back-end configurations varied with the service offering and existed side by side in the same company. Caveat: One case study of three divisions inside one manufacturer.
Zhongtai. With Pan and Johnson, read zhongtai as an interplay of organizational, process, and product modularity central to managing innovation in a firm's digital platforms. Caveat: A case study of one firm's three digital platforms, studied mainly through interviews.
