The digital platform: a research agenda

TL;DR: A research agenda for digital platforms research in IS is developed and six questions for further research are suggested: Are platforms here to stay, how should platforms be designed, how do digital platforms transform industries, how can data-driven approaches inform digital platformsResearch, and how should researchers develop theory fordigital platforms.
