Platform Choice and Resource Configuration: From the Perspective of Resource Dependence
- Published
- Record updated
Summary
Researchers ran a qualitative multiple-case study of 12 Chinese SMEs across four platform ecosystems, drawing on 54 semi-structured interviews and archival data. They identified four resource dependence mechanisms (tangible, intangible, human, and data) that shape platform strategy. The main finding is that concerns over dependence, rather than resource scarcity, primarily drive platform choices.
