Exploring Industrial Change in the Platform Economy
Digital platforms – such as, Facebook, Predix, oDesk, SAP, and YouTube – are opening the way for radical changes in how work and value creation is being organized. They shape the terms on which firms, users, and consumers interact with one another (Gawer and Cusumano 2002, 2014; Parker et al. 2016). The ubiquity of these platforms is affecting a wide range of businesses and has prompted Kenney and Zysman (2016) to hypothesize that platforms would become a core organizing principle for a new economy.
Initial submissions due 30 September 2017
