Platform
An entity that brings together different groups of economic agents and facilitates interaction among them by managing NE and therefore creating value for all participants.
Business opportunity exists for a platform (3)
- A set of economic agents wish to interact
- The interaction generates NE: One agent’s decisions as to whether and how much to interact affect the well-being of other agents.
- An intermediary is more efficient in organizing the interaction.
Value of Platforms
- NE make it hard for individuals to organize interactions, even if these are valuable for everyone.
- The benefit an agent gets from joining a network depends on how many other people join as well
- If the agent doesn’t expect anybody else to join, she doesn’t join either
- Everybody loses, even if all would be better off joining!
- Platforms can solve this coordination problem -> valuable interactions easier to organize by reducing transaction costs.
- Basically, platforms sell transactions costs’ reductions (not necessarily sell a product)
Illustration of reduction in transaction costs (Uber)
Even with technology easing communication (e.g. FB groups to communicate between riders and drivers) a platform still adds a great deal of value by reducing transaction costs.
- Trust issues
- Help coordination -> Dispatch based on proximity
