Resumen del Editor

If you want to generate passive revenue, multiple cash flows, control your industry’s innovation, know more about your customers and market trends, and steer your competition to your favor, then keep reading.

With the platform business model you will experience significant organic growth; you will gain organic insights into your market, industry, and customers to directly aid you in your R&D and strategy development; you will through your independent producers on your platform be able to control compatibility and standardization in your industry’s production, and thus the larger innovation direction. You will be able to steer competition in your industry in your favor. You are missing out if you at least are not considering what the platform business model can do for you.

A platform is the meeting place of independent producers and individual consumers. But the producers do not come if there are no consumers, and the consumers do not come if there is nothing to purchase on your platform. How do you get over this interdependency? How do you manage both an independent producing side and your private consumer side? Where are the pitfalls? This audiobook will give you the answers to all those questions and then some.

• Get acquainted with the platform business model and discover if you are missing out on it
• Know what unique alteration the platform business model hold, that few know about – not even the big technology platforms
• In this book you will discover what the business model is, how to launch it, when not to launch it, how to manage it, and if a unique variant of the model is more for you

I have done the research; I hold two master’s degrees in international business and management. And, it would be foolish to not learn about it and consider it, because huge opportunity costs could be attached to whatever you decide right now.

So, if you want to not miss out on organic growth and control, then click "Buy" to listen.

Bazinga

J. H. Pii does a great job again with this short book which is jam-packed with useful information. I like that he does not regurgitate the same information found in other books. This book provided explanations of various platforms in a succinct manor. I learned a few things and that is always a win in my eyes. This book was a fun listen and I would recommend it to anyone. The author did a good job with the narration as well. I was sucked in and listened to this short book in one sitting. Do yourself a favor and grab this book.

Disclaimer: My enjoyment of the narrator is based on my listening speed. I only leave 5 stars for books I've listened to or will listen to multiple times.

I requested this book from the author, narrator, or publisher in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

Very imformative audiobook

I learned a lot about trending technology platforms and how their business models words. I found these platforms to be very useful to know more about my customers and market trends, I think you do not need to create new platforms or to fight with them. You can use them on your benefit to grow your business and your customer list.

Informative!

this audiobook is great at explaining the different famous business models and how they operate, as well as providing a clear insight on how to manage your own platform for success.
highly recommend!

High level information !

This audiobook is perfect for entrepreneurs new to or interested in the platform business model.
The information provided are really good (comparable to a class or training level - in my opinion), very well explained, very detailed, and backed up with tons of examples from big companies (Netflix, Amazon, Disney +, Uber, ...)
Definitely worth the listening !

Very Informative & Comprehensive for the Beginner

The authors of a Beginner’s Guide to the Platform Business Model have done a fine job of compiling a historical and contemporary introduction to this topic. Even for those not inclined to create their own platform for launching their business, knowing this information as a consumer is a good idea. It helps one to understand, for example, why certain apps and services are unavailable one one platform and available on another platform (ie Netflix vs Amazon, Apple IOS vs Android). For those looking to create a startup that operates on a platform, this introductory guide will serve as an important resource for getting started.

While I am not personally interested in this topic, the author’s engaging way of using layman’s terms in defining these complex ideas helped to pull me into the topic and create interest.

The narrator, I thought, was okay. He spoke a little too slow for my listening preference. But when I sped up the audio, the narrator was far more engaging.

Informative and entertaining

If you are looking to understand how the platform business model works this audiobook is a great place to start you will get the information you need and you will enjoy it too!
