In Organizational Structures

Known for

Servitization and the organization of service and platform operations.

Ideas

Front- and back-end design. With Raja, Chakkol, 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 Chakkol, 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.

In this section, “read” means read by the Organizational Structures series: where a line says a work, or part of one, was not read, the series did not read it.
