Study Notes
A. Ozalp et al. (2022) - Digital Colonisation of Highly Regulated Industries: Analysis of Big Tech Platforms' Entry into Health Care and Education
- Digital platforms create value through enhanced matchmaking and facilitating transactions among users
- Highly regulated industries have high entry barriers and operational costs
- Four stages of digital colonization: 1) data infrastructure services to regulated incumbents, 2) data capture, 3) data-driven insights, 4) design and commercialization of new products and services
- Digital platforms grow through scalable technological intermediation and reduction of transaction costs
- Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon differ in their digital colonization strategies and approaches to healthcare and education
- Platform firms compared to traditional hierarchal firms and firms as a network of contracts
- Platformization leads to decentralization, re-centralization, and concentration
- Fragmented state regulatory capacity, prevailing pro-consumer orientation in antitrust law, and vertical fragmentation of authority in the US political system are enabling factors for platform companies
- Platform capitalism relies on an alliance between firm owners/investors and consumers around patient capital
- US and European political economic landscapes differ regarding the rise of big tech platforms
B. Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology
- Exchange, staying power, and complementary benefits contribute to the strength of network effects
- Network effects are important for firms leveraging technology and can influence a product's long-term viability
- Exchange: products or services that foster exchange and allow interconnectivity can benefit from network effects
- Staying power: users want to invest in products with a long-term viability and create switching costs, making it difficult for them to leave
- Complementary benefits: products or services that add additional value to the network can attract more users and support
- One-sided markets derive most of their value from a single class of users
- Two-sided markets require both types of participants to deliver value
- Cross-side exchange benefits occur when an increase in the number of users on one side creates an increase in the other side
- Moore's Law: chip performance per dollar doubles every eighteen months
- Cheap and fast computing revolutionized businesses and opened new markets
- General-purpose technologies can transform businesses by improving efficiency and creating new opportunities
- Single-purpose technologies are designed for specific business tasks and have measurable results.
C. Additional Points:
- Direct network effects increase in value based on the number of users
- Indirect network effects create value through the production of increasingly valuable complementary goods and services.
