Description

this study offers a systematic review of academic research on platform competition. By using CiteSpace5.7R1, a visualization tool, we analyzed 575 articles on platform competition from Web of Science database. By examining the publications, important authors, and hot spots in the field of platform competition, we found that early literature mainly focused on the concepts and structure of platform competition from a micro level, and the methods including empirical analyses with game theory, mathematical models and so on. Recent literature mainly focuses on digital platform, platform ecosystem, innovation ecosystem, value creation, the role of complementor and so on.
