“…Refugees and migrants have described mobile phone capabilities and places to recharge them as 'even more important than food' (Benton & Glennie, 2016). As smartphones become lifelines (AbuJarour & Krasnova, 2017;Gillespie et al, 2018), an ICT-based information ecosystem is emerging (Schreieck et al, 2017;Andrade & Doolin, 2016). Latonero (2015) uses the phrase 'digital passage to Europe' to describe how ICTs are used in planning, navigating, documenting and communicating as people make their way to or through Europe.…”

“…The magnitude and visibility of the current refugee and migrant crisis has thus yielded a rich harvest of new Information and Communication Technology (ICT) platforms which involve the internet, mobile phones and apps (Schreieck, Wiesche, & Krcmar, 2017). The use of these platforms is viewed by some humanitarian professionals as a quantum leap in the potential of both humanitarian efficiency and effectiveness, expanding what outsiders can do in global solidarity while also allowing insiders enhanced capabilities to help each other.…”

Employing ICT platforms has the potential to improve efforts to assist displaced people, or to liberate them in being more able to help each other, or both. And while platform development has resulted in a patchwork of initiativesan electronic version of 'letting a thousand flowers bloom'there are patterns emerging as to which flowers grow and have 'staying power' as compared to ones that wilt and die. Using a partial application of grounded theory, we analyze 47 platforms, categorizing the services they provide, the functionalities they use, and the extent to which end users are involved in initial design and ongoing modification. We found that 23% offer one-way communication, 72%, provide two-way communication, 74% involve crowdsourcing and 43% use artificial intelligence. For future developers, we offer a preliminary list of what leads to a successful ICT initiative for refugees and migrants. Finally, we list ethical considerations for all stakeholders.

“…Few studies have been focusing on the development and classification of websites for non-profit organizations [27,28]. Loosely connected to this work's topic, [11] have investigated a governance strategy for non-profit platforms for refugees. By doing so they were able to increase the societal impact of the platform in action.…”

“…Platform-based software ecosystems enable NPSOs to access a collection of standard modules to configure an individualized system for various usecases. Compared to tailor-made software, a software ecosystem offers a collection of standard modules that are reusable for different use-cases and organizations, while only missing modules have to be developed [11], e.g. by following a tailor-made approach.…”

Non-profit sport organizations fulfill an important role in society but face various problems regarding the attraction, retention and management of members and volunteers. Digitalization in the form of platform-based software ecosystems is a promising alternative to costly tailor-made or inflexible standard-software. Such ecosystems for sport organizations are challenging to build, mainly since research and knowledge is sparse regarding which core modules and functionalities are important as well as the influence of organizational characteristics, such as size or setup, on platform requirements. In this study, we present relevant modules and functionalities derived from literature and available standard software. Subsequently, we conducted an indepth Kano analysis with 532 participants from non-profit sport organizations in order to evaluate the identified modules and functionalities. Our research helps to understand the relevance of individual modules and functionalities for platform-based software ecosystems and outlines how organizational characteristics influence the results.

“…Existing literature discusses many types of governance mechanisms [26,27]. One is formal or government-based, such as market contracts, intellectual property, and other legally binding agreements used as a basis for collective action and decision-making [28]. Another type of governance mechanism is informal or platform-based and depends on mutual trust, agreed codes of conduct, beliefs in a shared vision, and similar cultures [10].…”

A Tripartite Evolutionary Game Analysis of Enterprises’ Behaviour in the Platform Ecosystem

With the rapid progress of digital technology and new business models’ development, the platform ecosystem has not only penetrated every sector in society but also revealed various problems. Platform governance researchers have highlighted its significance, but failed to adequately consider ecosystem participants’ behaviour. This paper aims to explore platform governance’s effects on enterprises’ behaviour in a multiorganisational platform ecosystem context. The tripartite evolutionary game is chosen to construct a mathematical model that integrates the government, platform organisation, and internal enterprises to analyse formal and informal governance’s influence on enterprises’ behaviour in the platform ecosystem. It was discovered that both formal and informal governance can decrease internal enterprises’ opportunistic behaviours. Furthermore, formal governance has stronger effects than informal governance, although informal governance’s effects are more stable. Additionally, self-organisation in the platform ecosystem is another important area of focus. This paper enriches an understanding of platform ecosystems while formulating insights relevant in using platform governance to develop small and medium-sized enterprises.
