1.Platform Business Model
A platform is a kind of business model that takes advantage of ecosystems, facilitating
transactions between large networks of users such as sellers and buyers, drivers and
riders, hosts and guests.
One, they are organised around the user experience, what a user is trying to achieve and
meeting their needs by coordinating and integrating products and services from across an
ecosystem of producers.
Two, platforms minimise users’ transaction costs to such an extent that they become
negligible.
Like Amazon, which offers small businesses all that they need to get up and running,
everything from web services, business analytics and logistics to fulfilment, payments and
lending in one place. The draw access to Amazon’s 200 million plus unique visitors every
month.
In order to scale, platforms have to be open accessible and easy to build off. When they are,
innovation happens faster around a platform than in traditional business. Amazon has
more than 10,000 APIs.
2. Two, platform-based businesses create and capture value very differently from
traditional business models.
