Abstract

Integrating suppliers in NPD projects yields multiple benefits, but also creates inter-organizational integration challenges that can negatively affect NPD outcomes. We propose that these challenges are alleviated to the extent that the manufacturer is experienced in designing modular products, and that such effect is stronger when the manufacturer is developing moderately innovative products, whereas it tends to weaken for highly innovative products. We test our hypotheses on an international sample of 217 NPD projects and discuss the implications of our findings for the ongoing debate on the impact of modularity on buyersupplier integration in NPD and on its performance outcomes.
