Important results from the project
The aim of the project has been to deepen the understanding of how to manage digital platforms when network effects alone are not a sufficient strategy, with a focus on the healthcare sector. A central question has been to understand how digital platforms can be introduced and integrated in established and highly regulated ecosystems. The project has resulted in publications in leading journals and new collaborations.
Expected long term effects
The hope is that platform theory will better adapt to contexts requiring integration with traditional ecosystems, such as healthcare, where digital solutions cannot fully replace physical care. Practice should also become more evidence-based, with a deeper understanding of which strategies are effective in complex and hybrid environments. We also believe that the collaborations that were established during the project will have great positive impact for the continued research in the field.
Approach and implementation
The project has been carried out through formal and informal collaborations, where we have followed, interviewed, and gained access to data from digital platforms in the healthcare sector. The aim has been to develop improved theory and practice regarding digital platform strategies.
