Why Now? New Behavior
TAKEAWAYS FROM CHAPTER FOUR
The disruption of business by the Internet has proceeded through two stages. In stage one, efficient pipelines ate
inefficient pipelines. In stage two, platforms eat pipelines.
Platforms are able to outcompete pipelines because of their superior marginal economics and because of the value
produced by positive network effects. As a result, platforms are growing faster than pipelines and taking leading
positions in industries once dominated by pipelines.
The rise of platforms is also disrupting business in other ways. It is reconfiguring value creation to tap new sources
of supply; reconfiguring value consumption by enabling new forms of consumer behavior; and reconfiguring quality
control through community-driven curation.
The rise of platforms is also causing structural changes in many industries—specifically, through the phenomena of
re-intermediation and market aggregation.
Incumbent companies can fight back against platform-driven disruption by studying their own industries through a
platform lens and beginning to build their own value-creating ecosystems, as Nike and GE are doing.

  • 13. Why Now? New Behavior
  • 14. TAKEAWAYS FROM CHAPTER FOUR The disruption of business by the Internet has proceeded through two stages. In stage one, efficient pipelines ate inefficient pipelines. In stage two, platforms eat pipelines. Platforms are able to outcompete pipelines because of their superior marginal economics and because of the value produced by positive network effects. As a result, platforms are growing faster than pipelines and taking leading positions in industries once dominated by pipelines. The rise of platforms is also disrupting business in other ways. It is reconfiguring value creation to tap new sources of supply; reconfiguring value consumption by enabling new forms of consumer behavior; and reconfiguring quality control through community-driven curation. The rise of platforms is also causing structural changes in many industries—specifically, through the phenomena of re-intermediation and market aggregation. Incumbent companies can fight back against platform-driven disruption by studying their own industries through a platform lens and beginning to build their own value-creating ecosystems, as Nike and GE are doing. 2016 Parker & Van Alstyne – licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0).

  • #5: Lightbulb lasts longer than your lease. Why would you buy?!?
  • #6: Incumbent: Ad supported newspapers Platform entrant: eBay, Google, Craigslist How: Destroy ad revenue; call forth new (and cheaper) supply Key problem entrant solved [aggregation of supply and demand… need good way to say this]
  • #7: Incumbent: Hotel chains such as Hilton, Marriott Platform entrant: AirBNB, X, Y, Z How: Expose latent supply Key problem entrant solved Bilateral Trust; central trust insurance; matching;
  • #8: Incumbent: Boston University, Georgetown, Tulane; MIT, Harvard, Princeton (eventually) Platform entrant: Coursera, Khan, edX How: Peel off the low end that provides cross subsidy for research, upper level classes Key problem entrant needs to solve Certification
