Cusumano et al.</em></a></p> <p>Many years ago a friend of mine recommended a book called <a href="https://www.hbsp.harvard.edu/product/5149-HBK-ENG">Platform Leadership</a> that he had read as part of his own school curriculum.</p> <p>This book was a blast and dissected with great details and clarity two widely different ways to build platforms, two ways that both shaped the "computer" world we were living in, back then. Mostly focusing on how Intel worked hard to grow the PC industry it occasionally compared their strategy to how Microsoft grew their own "Windows" business.</p> <p>And the world moved on, and the computer industry as well. So I recently got curious to see if any update existed to that book... just to find that, instead of an update, a whole new book had been written mostly by the same authors: <a href="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=56021">Business of Platforms</a>.</p> <p>Another blast ensued, and now I'll tell you why.</p> <p><a href="https://tibonihoo.net/en/blog/2024/04/13/revue-platform-leadership/">Read more…</a> (3 min remaining to read)</p></div>bookbusinessorganizationplatformreviewhttps://tibonihoo.net/en/blog/2024/04/13/revue-platform-leadership/Sat, 13 Apr 2024 18:22:06 GMT
