We will host the Seventh Annual Platform Research Symposium July 17, 2019 in Boston. You are cordially invited to submit an original research paper. Please do not hesitate to forward this invitation to others who are currently working on research related to platforms.
The symposium will be held at the Boston University Questrom School of Business.
Topics of particular interest include:
- Strategies for platform launch and growth
- Governance
- Platform design and architecture
- Internal organization of platform firms
- Transforming products into platforms
- How traditional firms compete or play with platforms
- Data and analytics for platforms
- Antitrust & regulation issues raised by platforms

Please upload your submissions by March 10, 2019. Authors will be notified of decisions on or around April 12, 2019.
Additional notes:
- In addition to 8-10 regular presentations (roughly 45 minutes each, including discussion), we will also feature 8-10 short presentations (8-9 minutes each, no discussion). The short presentations are best suited for early stage papers or nascent research projects related to platforms.
