Abstract

Digital platforms are becoming the dominant business model in many industries. Platforms are a foundation for new value creation. Steel manufacturing companies are planning and implementing new solutions although managers struggle to determine their monetary impact. Most of these initiatives generate both expenses and benefits differently to “traditional” business models. In this paper I describe some of the ratios that should be used in preparing companies for the introduction of platforms and new business models.
