Abstract Platform competition and management shapes and is shaped by a constantly changing socioeconomic context. This implies that managers face transient strategic trade-offs in platform development and competition processes. The frameworks and empirical studies in extant literature do not account for this. A way to address the temporal aspect of strategic action in platform competition research is the systematic use of modelling and simulation alongside empirical cases. The paper explores the multi-level research agenda this opens up and develops sixteen research questions for future platform management research.

平台竞赛：建模与仿真研究的研究大纲

摘要 平台竞争和管理塑造并受不断变化的社会经济环境的影响。这意味着管理人员在平台开发和竞争过程中面临短暂的战略权衡。现有文献中的框架和实证研究没有考虑到这一点。在平台竞争研究中解决战略行动的时间方面的一种方法是系统地使用建模和模拟以及经验案例。本文探讨了由此开启的多层次研究议程，并为未来的平台管理研究提出了 16 个研究问题。
