当代文献集中在设计和生产活动中的“制造或购买”决策，假设有关技术知识的基本领域的决策将自动相同。基于以往对多技术企业和产品的研究，本文认为，企业对技术的了解比他们在自己的生产中应用。我们提出了两个主要方面，根据企业应该调整他们的知识和生产边界，即系统的相互依赖性组件和组件的基础知识基础的变化率不均匀。我们分析了知识和生产边界之间这种不太完美的重叠对企业外部关系管理的影响。
The contemporary literature concentrates on ‘make or buy’ decisions in design and production activities, assuming that decisions about the underlying fields of technological knowledge will automatically be the same. Building on previous research on multitechnology firms and products, this paper argues that firms know more about technology than they apply in their own production. We propose two major dimensions according to which firms should adjust their knowledge and production boundaries, namely systemic interdependencies across components and uneven rate of change across components’ underlying knowledge bases. We analyse the implications of this less‐than‐perfect overlap between knowledge and production boundaries for the management of firms’ external relationships.
