Abstract:
The ongoing digitalization of business and society demonstrates the importance of constructing organizations as loci as well as vehicles of the good life in a digital age. A digital technology of growing relevance are platforms that facilitate interactions between actors. This sub-theme provides a forum for advancing our understanding of digital platforms and platform organizations in two ways. First, we seek papers that examine the plurality of platform organizations – such as the plurality of customer segments (e.g., P2P, B2C, B2B) or platform types (marketplaces, innovation platforms, information platforms) – and the ways platform organizations impact business and society. Second, we seek papers that foster our understanding of the responses to platform organizations from actors that collaborate with and are dependent on them as well as are disrupted by them. We are also interested in papers that study how policy makers attempt to shape the trajectories of platform organizations. We invite papers from various disciplines. All kind of methods as well as conceptual papers are welcome.
