Architectural distance is links to rewire

The claim

How far an organisation must change to work like another can be measured as the number of links among its people, tools and tasks that it would have to rewire.

How groups think together

The book combines Henderson and Clark's architectural knowledge with Argote's people-tool-task networks: the distance between Blockbuster and Netflix is the number of links to rewire, which was larger than Blockbuster's CEO imagined. It turns "architectural change is hard" into something countable. Grounds C-E5ZYV28YJA (an incumbent cannot adopt a new architecture by adding an interface) and rests on C-MBB2ZVB4Z4 (knowledge stored in links).
