Research on Key Core Technology Innovation Mode Under Modularization Perspective:Based on the Case Study of S Enterprise
At present,there are still few breakthroughs in the development and design technology of key components in the manufacturing industry in China,characterized by high external dependence and low self-sufficiency.The urgent task for China's manufacturing enterprises is to make breakthroughs in the key core technology,and to accelerate the self-dependent innovation of core technology.Key core technology research is a complex system in nature,and the core conception of modularization lies in the modular decomposition of the product,making the innovation more efficient.Therefore,based on the perspective of modularization and the research framework of"motivation-process-result",this paper adopts the exploratory single-case study method and takes Enterprise S,a leading enterprise in equipment manufacturing industry,which has successfully transformed from the traditional R&D mode to the modular innovation one,as the research object.Based on the framework of"product-modularization of organization",the paper analyzes the main driving force,the course,and the results of S enterprise and its core technology innovation from the aspects of technology,organization,and environment.The study finds that modularization empowers the key core technology innovation of Enterprise S,the scientific achievements of Enterprise S are mainly reflected in three aspects of technology innovation,product innovation,and business model innovation;the Diversified technological capabilities,development of information technology,cooperation and innovation network,national growth needs and market demand promote enterprises to realize key core technology innovation through modularization;product modularization empowers enterprises to innovate key core technologies by connecting user needs and product features,flexible combination and integration,independent production and quality control,and sustainable maintenance and upgrading;organizational modularization empower innovation by integrating innovation resources,promoting the modularization of internal and external organizations.In the process of innovation,product modularization advances organizational modularization,and modular organization permeates the whole life cycle of modular products.It is thus suggested that enterprises should have the courage to decompose and reorganize complex products,and adopt unique technological innovation modes to innovate.
