Drawing from the growing academic literature as well as the practice world, this book intends to provide a framework for analysing platform business firms. Leveraging on the early literature on network economics (that was largely analytical) and the popular writing about new organizations, this book takes a strategic perspective. It answers the five big strategy questions about platform business firms: a. What are platform business models, and how are they different from others; b. How do platform business firms operate, and what value do they create? To whom and how; c. What are those resources that platforms possess and leverage to create and sustain their competitive advantage over others; d. Why and how are they successful? Why do they perform differently from others? What metrics of performance should we use to study and analyse their performance; e. Is this business model sustainable? What determines the longevity of such firms? What are the regulatory and social challenges that these platform business firms face? How do regulators and the larger society manage the disproportionate power distribution among such firms? The book is strategic in nature and highlights the resources defining the strategies of successful platform business firms. In doing so, it provides a field guide for entrepreneurs and managers embarking on building a platform, by providing a portfolio of decisions to make. Though the frameworks could be generalized, the book focuses on platform businesses, rather than societal platforms. With a few extensions, it is possible that these frameworks could be easily applied to non-profit and or social enterprises as well. 410 0$aManagement for Professionals,$x2192-810X 606 $aElectronic commerce 606 $aInformation technology$xManagement 606 $aEntrepreneurship 606 $aNew business enterprises 606 $aTechnological innovations 606 $aE-Business 606 $aBusiness IT Infrastructure 606 $aEntrepreneurship 606 $aInnovation and Technology Management 615 0$aElectronic commerce. 615 0$aInformation technology$xManagement. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship. 615 0$aNew business enterprises. 615 0$aTechnological innovations. 615 14$aE-Business. 615 24$aBusiness IT Infrastructure. 615 24$aEntrepreneurship. 615 24$aInnovation and Technology Management. 676 $a658.872 700 $aSrinivasan$b R$0939203 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741163403321 996 $aPlatform Business Models for Executives$93554034 997 $aUNINA
