Platform Ecosystems is a hands-on guide that offers a complete roadmap
for designing and orchestrating vibrant software platform ecosystems.
Unlike software products that are managed, the evolution of ecosystems
and their myriad participants must be orchestrated through a thoughtful
alignment of architecture and governance. Whether you are an IT
professional or a general manager, you will benefit from this book
because platform strategy here lies at the intersection of software
architecture and business strategy. It offers actionable tools to
develop your own platform strategy, backed by original research,
tangible metrics, rich data, and cases. You will learn how architectural
choices create organically-evolvable, vibrant ecosystems. You will also
learn to apply state-of-the-art research in software engineering,
strategy, and evolutionary biology to leverage ecosystem dynamics unique
to platforms. Read this book to learn how to:
- Evolve software products and services into vibrant platform ecosystems
- Orchestrate platform architecture and governance to sustain
competitive advantage
- Govern platform evolution using a powerful 3-dimensional framework
If you're ready to transform platform strategy from newspaper gossip and
business school theory to real-world competitive advantage, start right
here!
