The symposium explores the transformative impact of digitalization and disruptive technologies on platform ecosystems. The evolution of digital technologies has reshaped how firms create and capture value in platform ecosystems in several aspects. In particular, digital transformation has reconfigured ecosystem-level interdependencies, blurred traditional market boundaries, and enabled creative destruction by complementors. Consequently, firms in platform ecosystems need to constantly adjust their strategic choices in order to manage rising complexity and uncertainty. In this symposium, esteemed panelists from diverse disciplines will share cutting-edge research and insights to provide a multi-faceted view of how firms can successfully leverage digitalization and disruptive technologies to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by platforms and ecosystems. By highlighting recent advances and ongoing research at the forefront of academic and managerial debates, the symposium aims to foster dialogue among scholars and practitioners and offer strategic guidance for navigating competitive landscapes in a rapidly evolving technological environment.
