🎬 In E25 we examined rapid growth of digital #platforms with Marshall Van Alstyne, Questrom Chair Professor at Boston University, co-author of bestseller Platform Revolution, and Digital Fellow in Massachusetts Institute of Technology.🚀
In conversation with Roman Kirsanov, CEO/Founder @Partner Insight. It was my special privilege to talk with Marshall, one of the world's top experts on network business models, about trends in platform thinking.
📍 In this episode:
0:00 - Preview and intro
0:30 - What is a platform and its difference from an #ecosystem
2:00 - Can your business become a platform or should you join someone else's?
5:00 - Why have platforms gained prominence?
7:30 - Pivotal shift to demand side economies of scale
9:00 - Marshall’s research on types of network effects that create sticky ecosystems
15:00 - Why breaking up tech isn’t a good idea
18:00 - Platform evolution in the next years
21:00 - Demand acceleration in platform talent and where to educate yourself
25:00 - Which B2B sectors will transform to platforms
🔥 I highly recommend taking Marshall’s free course on edX. Learning about platforms couldn’t be timelier with IPOs of Airbnb and DoorDash (valuations: $42B and $32B resp.) just in the next two days.
