Running for the third consecutive year, this PDW aims to foster an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and ideas on platforms and ecosystems. This year, the workshop focuses on topics related to adaptation within platforms and ecosystems by considering adaptation from the perspectives of both more and less powerful actors. Specifically, we encourage exploration of the reasons, methods, timing, and implications of structural, procedural, resource, capability, and leadership changes by both powerful actors (e.g., platform owners and sponsors, keystone ecosystem actors) as well as less powerful ones (e.g., complementors, consumers). These conversations aim to contribute to a richer and more comprehensive understanding of the antecedents, processes, and outcomes of platform and ecosystem adaptation; inspire new ideas; and encourage collaboration among scholars from different disciplines and theoretical traditions.
