Innovation and Catch-up in platform (ICPE) Project progressing well
Given the increasing importance of digital platforms in economic development, TMCD is working on an exciting project, to analyze the lessons from a major digital technology company’s innovation story, especially its success in technological catch-up, product innovation, and ecosystem development. Work is progressing well and initial findings were presented at the British Academy of Management and EURAM Conferences in 2022.
The findings from the study will contribute to our understanding of innovation strategy and management in internet companies. They will also offer valuable managerial and policy implications for other latecomer firms in both the developing and developed countries.
