Sustaining Superior Performance in Business Ecosystems: Evidence from Application Software Developers in the iOS and Android Smartphone Ecosystems (2017, background): “Scholars studying this phenomenon have explored how platform firms compete and manage their interdependence with complementors (e.g., Schilling, 2002; Gawer and Henderson, 2007; Boudreau, 2010; Eisenmann et al., 2011; Zhu and Iansiti, 2012).”
Multi-Sided Platforms (2015, neutral): “…integrated firm and the MSP, and by the possibility of professionals holding pessimistic expectations when deciding whether or not to join the vertically integrated firm or MSP. JEL classification: D4, L1, L5 Keywords: Two-sided markets, multi-sided platforms, reseller, vertical integration.”
Marketplace or Reseller? (2015, neutral): “Assumption (12) ensures that M still prefers to attract all N suppliers.”
Unpacking the innovation ecosystem construct: Evolution, gaps and trends (2016, background): “The authors cited: Henderson and Clark (1990), proposing the concept of architectural innovation; Gawer and Cusumano (2002), proposing a “Four-Lever Framework” for designing and implementing a successful platform strategy to become a leader in an industry; Chesbrough (2003), proposing that ecosystem”
Platform Competition: A Systematic and Interdisciplinary Review of the Literature (2020, positive): “…& Giner, 2014), including platform openness (e.g., Boudreau, 2010; West, 2003) and competing with complementors through vertical integration (e.g., Gawer & Henderson, 2007; Pierce, 2009; Zhu & Liu, 2018); and several other questions relating to the delicate balance of creating and capturing value…”
Architectural leverage: putting platforms in context (2014, methodology): “We take the analysis of Intel by Gawer & Henderson (2007), which considers technology sys- tem platform owner innovation and entry into complementary markets, in this case chipsets.”
Who Profits from Innovation in Global Value Chains? A Study of the iPod and Notebook PCs (2010, methodology): “Intel moved into chipsets and even motherboards, setting standards for much of the hardware interfaces in the PC (Gawer and Henderson, 2007), such as PCI Express, while Microsoft has pulled more and more functionality into the operating system.”
Open Platform Strategies and Innovation: Granting Access vs. Devolving Control (2010, background): “Whether this strategy works in practice is unclear; Gawer and Henderson's (2007) case study of Intel reveals that giving up a degree of formal control (by not integrating into the production of complementary technologies) was not enough on its own; Intel also had to engage in a range of…”
Introduction - Platforms and Infrastructures in the Digital Age (2018, background): “Other platforms incentivize users to directly compete with developers (Gawer and Henderson 2007) or fold third-party innovation into the platform (Parker and Van Alstyne 2017) so that consumers obtain these functionalities at no additional cost.”
Towards a theory of ecosystems (2018, positive): “…ecosystems have considered connections between the platform sponsor and its complementors (Ceccagnoli et al. , 2012; Cennamo & Santaló, 2013; Gawer & Henderson, 2007) established through standards and platform interfaces (Gawer 2014), the leadership role of the platform at the industry…”
Innovation, Openness, and Platform Control (2018, background): “Further, platforms are building blocks serving as a foundation for constructing complementary products and services (Gawer and Cusumano 2002, 2008; Gawer and Henderson 2007), or as systems for matching buyers and suppliers who transact with each other using system resources (Hagiu and Wright 2015) o”
