Tan, T. (author), Mills, Grant (author), Papadonikolaki, E. (author)Modularity is an approach to simplify systems and reduce complexity. However, existing research suggests that a mono-dimensional modularity strategy, focusing solely on one dimension, such as product, process, or organization, might not fully achieve these goals in design activities. This research investigates how combining strategies from...journal article 2024
