Examples of Integrator Platforms: Markets vs. Communities PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 31-slide Platform Business Models PowerPoint presentation, provides a comparative overview of integrator platforms across 2 distinct categories: competitive markets and collaborative communities. On the left side, examples of competitive markets are listed, showcasing companies that operate within traditional competitive frameworks. Apple Inc.'s iPhone, with its application store, is highlighted as a leading example, emphasizing the company's dominance in the mobile ecosystem. InnoCentive illustrates a platform for scientific problem-solving, while Local Motors Inc. focuses on car design, demonstrating innovation in the automotive sector. Ryz and TopCoder Inc. are also included, representing footwear and software development, respectively.

The right side of the slide shifts focus to collaborative communities, where platforms thrive on user interaction and shared contributions. Threadless serves as an example of a community-driven T-shirt design platform, allowing users to submit and vote on designs. Google Android is noted for its collaborative approach to software development, where various developers contribute to the operating system's evolution.

A key takeaway is the distinction made between the operational models of these platforms. While Apple and Android both operate in the mobile space, they embody different strategies: one is a market-driven approach, while the other fosters community engagement. This differentiation is crucial for stakeholders to understand when assessing potential partnerships or investments in platform-based businesses. The slide effectively illustrates how integrator platforms can vary significantly in their operational dynamics and market positioning.

This slide is part of the Platform Business Models PowerPoint presentation.
