Making Design Rules: A Multidomain Perspective
通过轮胎制造激进创新的案例，研究设计规则如何分配功能、识别操作原理并设定模块间接口，揭示知识演变如何推动组织与技术的共同适应。
Design rules allocate functions to modules, identify operating principles, and set interfaces among modules that determine how organizations evolve. A case study of radical innovation in tire manufacturing illustrates the transition from old to new design rules through the joint adaptation of the manufacturing organization and the product to reflect changes in the underlying engineering knowledge. The case shows how knowledge evolution mediates organizational and technological change and makes any organization design openended and evolving.
