The Platform Revolution (book)

These platforms leverage network effects, enabling scalable, efficient exchanges of goods, services, or information without owning the actual assets. The book explains the underlying business models, technological enablers, and strategic considerations that make platforms powerful drivers of economic change. It also discusses the opportunities and challenges platforms present for businesses, regulators, and society, emphasizing the need to understand how to build, manage, and innovate within these transformative ecosystems.
