• Title: Understanding the Interplay between Boundary Resources and Governance Practices in Influencing Ecosystem Value Co-creation for Digital Platforms: A Case From the Global South
• Authors: Elijah Chirwa, Pamela Abbot and Jonathan Foster
• Abstract summary: This paper aims to examine how a payment platform facilitates ecosystem value co-creation with third party actors. An in-depth qualitative inquiry was adopted for the study using an embedded single-case design. Results show that although ecosystem value co-creation was enabled by the introduction of boundary resources tools, some platform governance practices hindered some complementors from harnessing the affordances of the platforms.

• Abstract: Despite their potentially transformative impact, few studies have investigated how commercially-driven digital platforms such as mobile money facilitate ecosystem value co-creation in the global South. Consequently, using a boundary resources model and platform governance approaches, this paper aims to examine how a payment platform facilitates ecosystem value co-creation with third party actors. An in-depth qualitative inquiry was adopted for the study using an embedded single-case design. The results show that although ecosystem value co-creation was enabled by the introduction of boundary resources tools, some platform governance practices hindered some complementors from harnessing the affordances of the platforms. These constraints include lack of visibility of the boundary resources and transparency challenges in the acceptance criteria. We thus argue that platform generativity on its own is not sufficient to support ecosystem value co-creation, but requires appropriate platform governance to deal with behavioural complexity of ecosystem actors by using optimal control mechanisms.

  In the emerging space economy, autonomous robotic missions with specialized goals such as mapping and mining are gaining traction. distributed ledger technology (DLT) might serve as a mechanism for enterprises to explore space resources through a transparent, reliable, non-proprietary digital platform. We argue that the benefits of DLT from an economic perspective are weighted against the drawbacks from a technical perspective.

  This publication outlines the generation of viewpoints as a geometrical problem and introduces a generalized theoretical framework for solving it. A $mathcalC$-space can be understood as the topological space that a viewpoint constraint spans, where the sensor can be positioned for acquiring a feature while fulfilling the regarded constraint. The introduced $mathcalC$-spaces are characterized based on generic domain and viewpoint constraints models to ease the transferability of the present framework to different applications and robot vision systems.

The main insight of our approach will be to link the quantification of the disparities present on the observed data with the underlying, and often unobserved, collection of causal mechanisms. Our effort culminates in the Fairness Map, which is the first systematic attempt to organize and explain the relationship between different criteria found in the literature.
