Protecting their digital assets: The use of formal & informal appropriability strategies by App developers

Innovators and entrepreneurs developing products and competing “on top” of digital platforms face different conditions than do those in more traditional industries. In this paper, we explore how this affects appropriability strategies in novel data on mobile app developers’ appropriability strategies. We find that the many smallest developers in the “long tail”— the vast majority of all developers – do in fact take actions to capture value and to protect their intellectual property, but do so only through informal mechanisms. By contrast, larger developers exploit a combination of both informal mechanisms and formal intellectual property rights, using copyright, patents, and trademarks. Several strategies particular to digital platforms are also documented. We link this pattern of different strategies pursued by different competitor types to the structural features of digital competition.     

Research on technology standards: Accomplishment and challenges

In this paper, we organize the fragmented management literature on technology standards according to a meta-theoretical scheme originally proposed by Astley and Van de Ven. We review over 89 relevant papers in influential journals in management, marketing and management-related disciplines. We observe that cumulative research streams on this topic have stayed within a single central perspective, that the development of research across the four central perspectives has been uneven, and that works incorporating multiple central perspectives have been few. We argue for complex models that take into account the two boundary conditions—technological complexity and institutional environment—that have been implicit in the extant literature. We also argue for theoretically grounded works in the collective action and strategic choice views, but the greatest opportunity lies in integrative works that will take us one step closer to a comprehensive view of technology standards.     

Bridging differing perspectives on technological platforms: Toward an integrative framework

An integrative framework is proposed to advance management research on technological platforms, bridging two theoretical perspectives: economics, which sees platforms as double-sided markets, and engineering design, which sees platforms as technological architectures. While the economic perspective informs our understanding of platform competition, the engineering design perspective informs our view of platform innovation. The article argues that platforms can be usefully conceptualized as evolving organizations or meta-organizations that: (1) federate and coordinate constitutive agents who can innovate and compete; (2) create value by generating and harnessing economies of scope in supply or/and in demand; and (3) entail a modular technological architecture composed of a core and a periphery. In support of this conceptualization, a classification system is presented, indicating that technological platforms appear in a variety of organizational forms: within firms, across supply chains, and across industry innovation ecosystems. As an illustration, the framework is then applied to derive a simple model highlighting patterns of interaction between platform innovation and competition, yielding hypotheses that could be tested empirically by future scholars.     

活动相互依赖视角下产业互联网平台的机会循环——基于积微物联公司的关键事件路径分析

在传统产业数字化背景下,产业互联网平台需要实现机会循环,以适应动荡环境、实现持续发展。通过关键事件路径分析方法,本文对典型产业互联网平台基于活动相互依赖结构实现机会循环过程进行了探索。本文有如下发现。活动承载了产业互联网平台与产业企业间的交互。它们通过相互依赖形成“接触”“承接”和“校准”等基本组件,共同支撑机会发现、机会创造及其相互转化。“校准”维系了产业互联网平台机会发现和机会创造,成为两种机会开发类型转化的纽带。产业互联网平台与企业基于共同目标的持续“校准”,维系了机会的快速涌现,支撑了机会循环。研究结论揭示了产业互联网平台基于活动相互依赖结构支撑机会循环的过程规律,填补了现有机会对“非预设多主体”机会循环过程研究的缺口,为产业互联网平台在传统产业数字化的业务发展提供了启发。
