The Value and Costs of Modularity: A Cognitive Perspective

Brusoni, Stefano; Marengo, Luigi; Prencipe, Andrea; … - Science and Technology Policy Research (SPRU), School … - 2004

This paper discusses the issue of modularity from a problem-solving perspective. Modularity is in fact a decomposition heuristic, through which a complex problem is decomposed into independent or quasi-independent sub-problems. By means of a model of problem decomposition, this paper studies the...
