When industries modularize, the degree to which firms capture value can shift. This paper develops a conceptual framework to understand when industries modularize, and how firm actions influence such modularization. To do so, we first outline how modularity increases at the product and organizational level. We argue that industry modularity increases when product interfaces and organizational practices disseminate beyond the focal organization. Next, we highlight several moderating factors that influence this dissemination process. Overall, the paper attempts to contribute to the existing literature as follows. First, the framework highlights strategic actions at the product and organizational architecture level to understand changes in ind...
