Platforms, Markets and Innovation PDF
by Edited By Annabelle Gawer
Description
The emergence of platforms is a novel phenomenon impacting most industries, from products to services.
Industry platforms such as Microsoft Windows or Google, embedded within industrial ecosystems, have redesigned our industrial landscapes, upset the balance of power between firms, fostered innovation, and raised new questions on competition and innovation.
Annabelle Gawer presents leading-edge contributions from 24 top international scholars from 19 universities across Europe, the USA and Asia, from the disciplines of strategy, economics, innovation, organisations, and knowledge management.
The novel insights assembled in this volume constitute a fundamental step towards an empirically-based, nuanced understanding of the nature of platforms and the implications they hold for the evolution of industrial innovation.
The book provides an overview of platforms and discusses governance, management, design and knowledge issues.
With a multidisciplinary approach, this book will strongly appeal to academics and advanced students in management, innovation, strategy, economics and design.
It will also prove an enlightening read for business managers in IT industries.
