Abstract

In the digital era, platform-based multinational corporations (PMNCs) have risen to global prominence, fundamentally differing from traditional multinational corporations (TMNCs) in their business models, internationalization strategies, and external environmental challenges. These distinctions demand specialized capabilities to navigate the complexities of global markets. Modularity has emerged as a critical mechanism for fostering resilience in PMNCs, equipping them to adapt and thrive amid international uncertainties. This study presents a conceptual framework grounded in the Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) paradigm, dissecting resilience development and enhancement into three modular layers: technical architecture, organizational structure, and market configuration. By exploring the synergistic interactions among these layers, the framework reveals how their alignment enhances scalability, flexibility, and adaptability, collectively underpinning the internationalization resilience of PMNCs. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of modularity's role in supporting global growth and offers strategic insights for navigating the volatile landscape of international business.

基于模块化逻辑的平台型跨国公司国际化弹性开发

在数字时代，基于平台的跨国公司（pmnc）在全球崭露头角，在商业模式、国际化战略和外部环境挑战方面与传统跨国公司（tmnc）有着根本的不同。这些差异需要专门的能力来驾驭复杂的全球市场。模块化已成为培养pmnc复原力的关键机制，使其能够适应并在国际不确定性中茁壮成长。本研究提出了一个基于结构-行为-绩效（SCP）范式的概念框架，将弹性发展和增强分解为三个模块层：技术架构、组织结构和市场配置。通过探索这些层之间的协同作用，该框架揭示了它们的一致性如何增强可伸缩性、灵活性和适应性，从而共同支撑pmnc的国际化弹性。这项研究有助于更深入地了解模块化在支持全球增长中的作用，并为在动荡的国际商业环境中导航提供战略见解。
