  • co evolution of Platform architecture Platform services and Platform governance expanding the Platform value of industrial digital Platforms
    Technovation, 2021
    Co-Authors: Marin Jovanovic, David Ronnberg Sjodin, Vinit Parida
    Abstract:

    Abstract Industrial manufacturers increasingly develop digital Platforms in the business-to-business (B2B) context. This emergent form of digital Platforms requires a profound yet little understood holistic perspective that encompasses the co-evolution of Platform architecture, Platform services, and Platform governance. To address this research gap, our study examines multiple Platform sponsors from an industrial manufacturing context. The study demarcates three Platform archetypes: product Platform, supply chain Platform, and Platform Ecosystem. We argue that each Platform archetype involves a gradual development of Platform architecture, Platform services, and Platform governance, which mirror each other. We also find that each Platform archetype is characterized by a specific innovation mechanism that contributes to the Platform service discovery and expands the Platform value. Our study extends the co-evolution perspective of Platform Ecosystem literature and digital servitization literature.

  • a data governance framework for Platform Ecosystem process management
    Business Process Management, 2018
    Co-Authors: Ross Jeffery
    Abstract:

    Platform Ecosystem today is regarded as the key business concept of organizations to win market. Platform companies can grow fast through the data contribution of multi-sided networks. Yet, they face difficulties in managing the data resulted from complicated contribution, use and interactions between the multiple parties. The circumstance causes serious concerns about unclear data ownership and invisible use of data, and ultimately leads to data abuse/misuse or privacy violation. To alleviate to this, a particular type of data governance is required. However, there is limited research on data and data governance for Platform Ecosystems. We introduce a new data governance framework for Platform Ecosystems which consists of data, role, decisions and due processes. The framework supports organizations in understanding to show how the risks should be dealt in the processes for business success. We compare 19 existing industry governance frameworks and academic work with our framework to show current gaps and limitations.

  • amass a large scale european project to improve the assurance and certification of cyber physical systems
    Product Focused Software Process Improvement, 2019
    Co-Authors: Jose Luis De La Vara, Eugenio Parra, Alejandra Ruiz, Barbara Gallina
    Abstract:

    Most safety-critical systems must undergo assurance and certification processes. The associated activities can be complex and labour-intensive, thus practitioners need suitable means to execute them. The activities are further becoming more challenging as a result of the evolution of the systems towards cyber-physical ones, as these systems have new assurance and certification needs. The AMASS project (Architecture-driven, Multi-concern and Seamless Assurance and Certification of Cyber-Physical Systems) tackled these issues by creating and consolidating the de-facto European-wide open tool Platform, Ecosystem, and self-sustainable community for assurance and certification of cyber-physical systems. The project defined a novel holistic approach for architecture-driven assurance, multi-concern assurance, seamless interoperability, and cross- and intra-domain reuse of assurance assets. AMASS results were applied in 11 industrial case studies to demonstrate the reduction of effort in assurance and certification, the reduction of (re)certification cost, the reduction of assurance and certification risks, and the increase in technology harmonisation and interoperability.

  • Core, intertwined, and Ecosystem-specific clusters in Platform Ecosystems: analyzing similarities in the digital transformation of the automotive, blockchain, financial, insurance and IIoT industry
    Electronic Markets, 2020
    Co-Authors: Tobias Riasanow, Lea Jäntgen, Sebastian Hermes, Markus Böhm, Helmut Krcmar
    Abstract:

    Digital transformation is continuously changing Ecosystems, which also forces established companies to re-evaluate their value proposition. However, only transformations of single Ecosystems have been studied. Therefore, this work targets to examine the similarities of digital transformation in five Platform Ecosystems: automotive, blockchain, financial, insurance, and IIoT. For our analysis, we combine the strengths of conceptual modeling using e3 value with a cluster analysis based on text mining to identify similarities in the respective Ecosystems. As a result, we identified 15 clusters. Cluster 01 is the core cluster, containing the roles of organizations from all five Ecosystems. Cluster 02–05 are intertwined, as they include roles from at least two Ecosystems. Clusters 06–15 are Ecosystem-specific that only include roles found in one Ecosystem. Scholars and practitioners can use these clusters when analyzing or building a new Platform Ecosystem, or transforming a traditional Ecosystem towards a Platform Ecosystem.

  • Tight and Loose Coupling in Evolving Platform Ecosystems: The Cases of Airbnb and Uber
    2018
    Co-Authors: Andreas Hein, Markus Böhm, Helmut Krcmar
    Abstract:

    The emergence of digital Platforms changes the way how companies interact with their Ecosystem. Successful Platforms like Apple’s App Store utilize an ecosys-tem of third-party developers to drive innovation. Those Platforms are expanding the sphere of influence beyond internal resources and capabilities by taking ad-vantage of a scalable Ecosystem of external developers. However, until now it is unclear on how those companies establish a Platform Ecosystem. This article draws on two case studies in the form of ridesharing and accommodation plat-forms to illustrate how they transitioned through four evolutionary phases with the help of tight and loose coupling partnerships.

  • Platform configurations within information systems research a literature review on the example of iot Platforms
    Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik, 2018
    Co-Authors: Andreas Hein, Markus Böhm, Helmut Krcmar
    Abstract:

    This contribution aims to shed light on the usage and application of different Platform constructs within the context of IoT Platforms. The main motivation is that scholars and practitioners use the term Platform frequently as an unspecific or vague construct. Different research streams shape and influence the concept of a Platform. They range from economic practices like the Two-Sided Market (TSM), Multi-Sided Platform (MSP) or Platform business models, over technical Platform aspects including standardization and modularization, to the Platform Ecosystem and the concept of an IS Platform fostering value co-creation. Within those concepts, the upcoming phenomenon of IoT Platforms represents a specific case to analyze what constructs are used to which extent. Thus, the study helps future scholars to use the term Platform more precisely and reveals the interrelatedness of the identified constructs. However, the literature review is only a first step towards demystifying the concept of a Platform, due to the limited context of IoT Platforms.

  • the Platform owner s challenge to capture value insights from a business to business it Platform
    International Conference on Information Systems, 2017
    Co-Authors: Maximilian Schreieck, Manuel Wiesche, Helmut Krcmar
    Abstract:

    IS research has acknowledged the increasing importance of IT Platforms. While substantial insights on value co-creation between the Platform owner and complementors have been established, the Platform owner’s challenge to capture value remains largely unaddressed. We therefore conduct an exploratory field study of an enterprise software vendor who has launched a business-to-business IT Platform. Conducting 27 interviews with actors involved in the Platform Ecosystem, we derive three distinct mechanisms of value capture: absorption, co-selling, and verticalization. We interpret how these mechanisms of value capture in turn affect value co-creation. With our results, we, first, enhance literature on value in IT Platforms by adding mechanisms of value capture to the already established mechanisms of value co-creation. Second, we contribute to the discussion on the impact of digital business strategies on firm performance by showing that an organization that implements an IT Platform needs to consider value co-creation and value capture jointly.

  • Cocreation of value in a Platform Ecosystem: the case of enterprise software
    Management Information Systems Quarterly, 2012
    Co-Authors: Marco Ceccagnoli, Chris Forman, Peng Huang, D. J. Wu
    Abstract:

    It has been argued that Platform technology owners cocreate business value with other firms in their Platform Ecosystems by encouraging complementary invention and exploiting indirect network effects. In this study, we examine whether participation in an Ecosystem partnership improves the business performance of small independent software vendors (ISVs) in the enterprise software industry and how appropriability mechanisms influence the benefits of partnership. By analyzing the partnering activities and performance indicators of a sample of 1,210 small ISVs over the period 1996-2004, we find that joining a major Platform owner's Platform Ecosystem is associated with an increase in sales and a greater likelihood of issuing an initial public offering (IPO). In addition, we show that these impacts are greater when ISVs have greater intellectual property rights or stronger downstream capabilities. This research highlights the value of interoperability between software products, and stresses that value cocreation and appropriation are not mutually exclusive strategies in interfirm collaboration.
