The focal platform actor requires specific capabilities to form and orchestrate the surrounding ecosystem, enforces governance principles and fosters generativity, allowing complementors to undertake discrete actions to contribute to the platform's value proposition.
“Here the focal platform actor requires specific capabilities to form and orchestrate the surrounding ecosystem (Helfat & Raubitschek, 2018), enforces governance principles and fosters generativity, allowing the complementors to undertake discrete actions to contribute to the platforms' value proposition (Adner, 2017;Jacobides et al., 2018;Teece, 2018).”

Decisions affecting one side of the platform subsequently impact all other sides of the platform as well.

Sensing capabilities are strongly connected with underlying mental processes of attention and perception on the level of an individual.

In either case, the subsequent stages of the DPE flux are likely to be shorter than the first cycle, because the focal platform firm has already established ties with complementors and acquired integration and orchestration capabilities.

Alignment of activities, products, services, and resources is of particular importance for a DPE's success, since success and failure depend not only on actions of the focal platform firm but also on the surrounding complementor ecosystem.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
