Abstract

A platform-based innovation ecosystem links multiple markets and their corresponding stakeholders for joint value creation and innovation around a platform, and it is critical for the platform sponsor to manage the configuration efficiently for maximized value and survival. Through a multi-case study, we propose a configurational framework for platform ecosystems to analyze multi-stakeholder business structures, boundary decisions and their relationships. We define the context as for-profit business networks that leverage a digital platform to create multi-sided market circumstances and to engage partners as well as customers in joint innovation and value creation. Empirically we study five small to mid-sized digital information and communication technology platforms and their ecosystems. The discoveries elaborate on the four characteristic configurations and activities involved in the platform ecosystem management, and show configurational differences between open, semi-open, and closed innovation ecosystems. We propose the value-network configurations for the ecosystem, upstream producer, downstream consumer, and partner driven scenarios. Contradicting the existing literature, we argue that complementarities are created by two different producer actors and the consumption is influenced by two different downstream actors. We also argue that an internal production platform can be considered a platform ecosystem for innovation in the case of the extensive use of external knowledge and resource sources. The results extend the understanding of a platform ecosystem as a multi-layered configuration, and show what are the roles of different functions in the multi-layered structure.
基于平台的创新生态系统:价值网络配置视角
基于平台的创新生态系统将多个市场及其相应的利益相关者联系在一起,围绕平台共同创造价值和创新,平台赞助商有效管理配置以实现价值最大化和生存至关重要。通过多案例研究,我们提出了一个平台生态系统的配置框架,以分析多方利益相关者的业务结构、边界决策及其关系。我们将背景定义为营利性商业网络,利用数字平台创造多方面的市场环境,让合作伙伴和客户参与共同创新和价值创造。根据经验,我们研究了五个中小型数字信息和通信技术平台及其生态系统。这些发现详细阐述了平台生态系统管理中涉及的四种特征配置和活动,并显示了开放、半开放和封闭创新生态系统之间的配置差异。我们提出了生态系统、上游生产者、下游消费者和合作伙伴驱动场景的价值网络配置。与现有文献相矛盾的是,我们认为互补性是由两个不同的生产者行动者创造的,消费是由两种不同的下游行动者影响的。我们还认为,在广泛使用外部知识和资源来源的情况下,内部生产平台可以被视为创新的平台生态系统。研究结果扩展了对平台生态系统作为多层配置的理解,并展示了不同功能在多层结构中的作用。
