In the rapid progress of globalization,one of the most important management issue all of gobal company have faced is how to make products meeting different customer needs aroud the world at minimum cost as much as possible. Theoretically, the relathionship between meeting diffrent customer needs and cost reduction is mutually exclusive. Modular strategy could be regarded as one possible way to achieve both.

本研究の学術的意義は、これまでのモジュール戦略研究の中で未だ明らかになっていなかった点、つまり、モジュール戦略適合的な製品開発プロセスとは何か、という問いに答えたことである。とりわけ、モジュール化の成否に大きな影響を与えるデザイン・ルール策定プロセスと製品開発プロセスの関係を明らかにした点が大きい。これによって、製品アーキテクチャ論のみならず製品開発論という２つの研究領域に対する学術的貢献が期待できる。同時に、モジュラー戦略の導入に苦慮する日本企業への実践的示唆を与えることができる。
