Podcast Platform Insights Episode 18
We were invited to the Platform Insights Podcast of the University of St.Gallen’s Competence Center for Alliances, Platforms and Ecosystems to talk unpack the core ideas behind our Business Ecosystems book. We discuss value creation through modularity and complementarity, platforms vs. business ecosystems, what makes effective ecosystem orchestration, how to embed ecosystem logic across functions, and how to measure success with the EPIC framework while identifying emerging opportunities (e.g., AI, circular economy, community-based ecosystems).

German Version of our Business Ecosystem Book
Our book, Business Ecosystems, is now available in German from Springer Gabler. It explains how value creating is increasingly happening through networks of partners, customers, and complementors, and how firms can strategically design, build, and participate in ecosystems. This book is the result of close collaboration with my co-authors, Dr. Erwin Hettich and Dr. Pia Kerstin Neudert.
