Abstract

Platforms build upon the new opportunities provided by ICTs to improve the generation, exploitation and coordination of both intangible and physical assets, on the demand and supply side. Platforms are critical organizational innovations that support the mobilization and integration of complementary resources in the generation of new products, as well as their adoption and acquisition by users and consumers. As such platforms can be considered an organizational innovation induced and made possible by technological innovations, similarly to those organizational innovations described by Alfred Chandler.
