How can entrepreneurs aspiring to build digital platforms overcome the early-stage challenge of attracting complementors and enable the successful emergence of digital platform ecosystems?

My research (with Anoop Madhok) published in @JMS_Journal answers this question. [1/8]

A recent study co-authored by Prof. Tirthatanmoy Das reveals that Indian women spend the most time on #childcare among emerging and advanced economies.

Cited by the Ministry of Labour and Employment and featured in The Hindu, it signals a deeper issue.

Glad to be a part of this interesting and timely Research Handbook!

Our chapter (with Anoop Madhok) examines the platform sponsor’s scope choices and implications for digital strategy.

There is no such thing as gentle war.
There is no peace
That can’t be flung aside.
Our only enemy is that which would
Make us enemies to each other.

"At the heart of the Ukraine crisis lies a fundamental question about the nature of history and the nature of humanity: is change possible? Or are humans forever condemned to reenact past tragedies?"

@FranceJanice @JMS_Journal Thanks Janice! I can't think of a case study that would be a good match but the article could complement a discussion of traditional strategies to trigger network effects in the early stages.

How can entrepreneurs aspiring to build digital platforms overcome the early-stage challenge of attracting complementors and enable the successful emergence of digital platform ecosystems?

My research (with Anoop Madhok) published in @JMS_Journal answers this question. [1/8]

[Ramya K Murthy @murthykramya]

@JMS_Journal Thrilled to see the first chapter of my dissertation published in @JMS_Journal after a challenging but constructive review process. Thankful to the reviewers, special issue editors, and editor John Prescott. Special thanks to reviewer 2 for their insightful comments! [8/8]

[Ramya K Murthy @murthykramya]

@JMS_Journal The study highlights a novel set of considerations – problem and platform sponsor scope – that shifts the emphasis away from the actors (‘who’) to the problem at hand (‘what’) to explain platform ecosystem emergence. [7/8]

[Ramya K Murthy @murthykramya]

@JMS_Journal We find pathways for the successful emergence of three types of ecosystems - complementary innovation, open-source, and information ecosystems - in the form of configurations of platform sponsor scope and problem dimensions. [6/8]

[Ramya K Murthy @murthykramya]

@JMS_Journal Key takeaway: Aspiring entrepreneurs have agency in addressing the early-stage challenge and should focus on identifying the dimensions of the problem they confront and choose their scope accordingly to attract complementors and, thereby, consumers. [5/8]

[Ramya K Murthy @murthykramya]

@JMS_Journal Using crowdfunding data and fsQCA, we study several aspiring platform sponsors and demonstrate that the choice of platform sponsor scope offers a way to overcome the challenge and enable the emergence of digital platform ecosystems. [4/8]

[Ramya K Murthy @murthykramya]

@JMS_Journal Complementors are vital for platforms as they create complements that enhance the platform’s value to consumers. But in the early stages, the platform sponsor faces the challenge of securing the commitment and resources of complementors for a little-known entity. [3/8]
