Abstract

What’s driving the morphing of products into platforms, why a product mindset falls flat in platform markets, how concepts absent in the vocabulary of product firms define their competitive dynamics, and hard questions product firms must ask themselves to make the transition. We explore these questions from a practitioner perspective based on fieldwork in a variety of firms in the US, Japan, and Europe.
