Introduction - Platforms and Infrastructures in the Digital Age (2018, background): “…platforms exhibit architectural and governance rules that seek to balance platform control with the necessary incentives for platform participants to engage with the platform and generate valueforoneanother(deReuveretal.2017,Ghazawneh and Henfridsson 2013, Parker et al. 2016, Tiwana 2015).”
Digital platforms for development: Foundations and research agenda (2021, background): “Governance studies in the platform literature, however, typically focus on the immediate relations between the platform authority and its users, partners and developers (Ghazawneh & Henfridsson, 2013; Karhu et al., 2018).”
Distributed Tuning of Boundary Resources: The Case of Apple's iOS Service System (2015, background): “These scholars note that digital infrastructures differ in their scope and scale from earlier forms of digital technology that were confined within the reach of a single organization (Ciborra et al. 2001; Ghazawneh and Henfridsson 2013; Lyytinen and King 2002).”
The digital platform: a research agenda (2018, methodology): “Payment platforms like PayPal, Apple Pay and Square are disrupting the financial industry.”
On open innovation, platforms, and entrepreneurship (2018, background): “Platform owners provide boundary resources, such as application programming interfaces (APIs), software development kits (SDKs), and other resources to enable complementors to build their offerings (Ghazawneh & Henfridsson, 2013).”
The digital transformation of innovation and entrepreneurship: Progress, challenges and key themes (2019, background): “For example, a number of studies have considered the paradox of control vs autonomy in the context of digital platforms and how they shape generativity (e.g., Eaton et al., 2015; Ghazawneh and Henfridsson, 2013; Foerderer et al., 2014; Wareham et al., 2014).”
Recombination in the open-ended value landscape of digital innovation (2018, background): “In the case of a boundary resource (Ghazawneh and Henfridsson 2013) such as an application programming interface (API), an API for allowing access to the camera of a smartphone can be classified as a device layer digital resource, while an API for allowing access to map data from services like Googl”
Managing technological change in the digital age: the role of architectural frames (2014, methodology): “Accordingly, they offer open access to their platform’s development environment (pattern language) (Ghazawneh and Henfridsson, 2013).”
