Abstract
The term “platform” is used in many different contexts, and some uses or definitions can be confusing to managers and academics alike. This paper summarizes some of my research and other studies on platform strategy and industry dynamics. Then I briefly examine how Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and a broader expression of this technology called Cloud Computing are emerging as a new computing platform.
