Topic

Creating and Capturing Value in an Online Network

 

Synopsis

Strategy is ultimately an attempt by firms to capture the economic value they create for customers as profit. This class will present an overview of the tools we develop in our HKUST classroom to develop and evaluate such profit-maximizing decisions.  We will then apply these tools to online platforms.  In these networks, firms often face the difficult task of creating value for different connected sets of customers (i.e. users and advertisers).  Each of these groups values different aspects of the service – which complicates attempts to create and capture value as profits.
