The Achilles' heel of the platform business model: Disintermediation
內容大綱
Multisided marketplaces have become fixtures in many contemporary industries. From Amazon to Google, platforms dominate entire markets and have become some of the world's most valuable companies. Despite their success, these companies have a subtle but potentially fatal weakness: disintermediation.

This article compiles and illustrates the causes of and remediations to platform disintermediation.
