I am pleased to offer you an examination copy of my new book, The Platform Paradox: How Digital Businesses Succeed in an Ever-Changing Global Marketplace.

Called “timely and insightful” by Nelson Chai, CFO of Uber, The Platform Paradox how the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated digitization and forced companies like Airbnb to pivot and adapt; how platforms like Tinder and Uber have used local advantages to grow rapidly in different countries; how traditional companies have transformed themselves into digital platforms, like Lego undertaking a digital revolution to emerge from bankruptcy and become the “Apple of toys”; and the possibilities and limits to global expansion, as illustrated by companies like Zoom and Skype. In the book, I offer an integrated framework for identifying and implementing a digital platform strategy on a truly global scale.
