Abstract
Many companies experience significant problems in coping with modularization and we interpret this as an incomplete and fragmentary understanding of the phenomenon of modularization. The paper introduces a research framework aiming at creating a more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of modularization. The research framework includes a view of the influences or impacts of modularization in three perspectives.
