This study addresses this, first by analyzing the role of architectural and systemic knowledge in changing product and organizational modularity. It then focuses on the extent to which development of modules takes place within or across firm boundaries and considers the drivers and outcomes of such decisions. In so doing, the paper connects research on modularity to the classic literature on product lifecycles, and extends this to current work on systems integration and platform ecosystems. Overall, the paper emphasizes the importance of intra and inter-firm modularity in terms of product and organizational mirroring, opportunities that emerge along the product life cycle, and how these can benefit systems integrators or modular firms. 000047788 542__ $$fhttps://academic.oup.com/pages/using-the-content/citation 000047788 590__ $$aPublished online: 2019 000047788 650_0 $$aInnovation 000047788 650_0 $$aIntellectual property 000047788 650_0 $$aTechnology 000047788 7001_ $$aTee, Richard,$$vauthor. 000047788 7731_ $$tIndustrial and Corporate Change,$$wINCC 000047788 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1093/icc/dtz007$$yRead the Article 000047788 903__ $$aIndustrial and Corporate Change 000047788 904__ $$aArticle 000047788 980__ $$aINCC
