Digital Platforms and Ecosystems – Powering the future of Digital Economy
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is enabled by new digital and physical technologies with almost limitless applicability – and huge implications for the economy and society. New business models are being leveraged not only by emerging organizations but also by traditional entities, which view them as either complementary to well-established models or as potential replacements of their core businesses. The subsequent economic disruption has indeed been revolutionary. In a few short years, the ranking of most valuable companies by market capitalization has totally shifted to being dominated by one business model – digital platforms and ecosystems.
Digital Platforms and Ecosystems is not only a topic on almost every corporate board’s agenda, but also the digital platform models already dominate our daily lives and our experiences as consumers, employees, community members and citizens – this has also been launched as an initiative by the World Economic Forum under the platform “Shaping the future of Digital Economy and New Value Creation”.
Markets have existed for millennia, yet properties of platforms and ecosystems are different and new. Where product firms, protect their profits with barriers to entry, platform firms make profits by lubricating the entry of drivers on Lyft and merchant shops on Alibaba. Where product firms’ best supply chains use just-in-time inventory, platform firms beat that model selling goods and services whose marginal costs they do not incur. Market boundaries blur and new paths to dominance emerge. Pioneers ranging from Amazon to Lyft and Zillow and from Airbnb to Klöckner and ZBJ are disrupting the retail, healthcare, real estate, banking, lodging and steel industries, and labour markets. Incumbent firms must grapple with predicting change and comprehending network business models in order to shape their own platform strategies. Comprehension and strategy begin with a new logic. The session aims to shed light on the platform approach based on the speaker’s own experience in launching a “Private Marketplace” and associated Supply Chain leveraging an asset-lite 4PL model.
