Buoyed by the success of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and
Google, thousands of companies of all sizes are fundamentally rethinking
how they do business. They are creating vibrant ecosystems and, in the
process, reaping big rewards. In the tradition of The Long Tail, The Age of the Platform
demonstrates how the world of business today is vastly different from
that of even ten years ago. Today, the most successful companies are
operating under an entirely different business model-one predicated on
collaboration, emerging technologies, externally driven innovation,
different types of partnerships, and vibrant ecosystems. Rife with
examples, The Age of the Platform is nothing less than essential reading to understand business today--and where it is going.
