- Ojanperä and Vuori's Platform Strategy is a unique book. It combines Ojanperä's hands-on experience of a senior executive grappling with the opportunities and threats of platform dynamics and Vuori's path-breaking work on the impact of affect and emotions on senior team action. As a result, Platform Strategy is an amazingly helpful book linking platforms and AI to an incumbent firm's shift in strategy and, in turn, organizational transformation. The uniqueness of this book is that it provides research-based and experience-based insights to help senior executives both think and feel their way through platform strategies. This book belongs on leaders' desks as well as academics' desks.
