本书从设计、价值和组织的基本原理出发，构建新理论，解释计算机产业五十年结构变迁中模块化所起的作用，适合产业研究者和管理者阅读。
The evolution of the computer industry since its beginnings is staggering, and the rate of change is only increasing. However, Carliss Baldwin and Kim Clark in their book “Design Rules, Volume 1: The Power of Modularity,” set out to plumb the depths of the forces that have generated so much upheaval in the structure of the computer industry over its fifty-year history. The result is an impressive study, in which the authors convincingly explain the portion of changes targeted for this volume. The book impresses because of its breadth and depth, its generality and precision, and its theory and application. The authors accomplish this by developing a new theory built from fundamental principles relating to the process of design, value, and organization.
