Cutolo, Hargadon, and Kenney explore how the power of digital platforms over social and economic activity has rendered the majority of companies dependent on them to compete. This power dynamic creates unique challenges for today's firms. In order to be successful, they argue, platform-dependent businesses must develop strategies to leverage platform resources while mitigating platform power.
