As a result of this success, more and more companies want to build their own platforms and participate in the success. However, building and operating a digital platform involves multiple challenges and most of such ambitions fail. Since most digital platforms fail, strategic leadership of digital platforms must consider both success factors and reasons for platform failure. For this purpose, we conducted a systematic literature analysis and identified 24 success as well as failure factors in 9 dimensions. From a scientific perspective, the article provides a structured analysis of success and failure factors of digital platforms, which previously did not exist in literature. Practitioners can use the resulting knowledge base to successfully manage platform activities and avoid pitfalls.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","conference":{"name":"28th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS)","location":"Minneapolis"},"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://aisel.aisnet.org/amcis2022/sig_dite/sig_dite/15/"}],"title":"Why do Digital Platforms succeed or fail? - A Literature Review on Success and Failure Factors","date_created":"2022-11-03T23:11:13Z","author":[{"first_name":"Leon","id":"45137","full_name":"Özcan, Leon","last_name":"Özcan"},{"full_name":"Koldewey, Christian","last_name":"Koldewey","first_name":"Christian"},{"full_name":"Duparc, Estelle","last_name":"Duparc","first_name":"Estelle"},{"first_name":"Hendrik","last_name":"van der Valk","full_name":"van der Valk, Hendrik"},{"full_name":"Otto, Boris","last_name":"Otto","first_name":"Boris"},{"first_name":"Roman","last_name":"Dumitrescu","full_name":"Dumitrescu, Roman"}],"date_updated":"2022-11-03T23:14:33Z","citation":{"mla":"Özcan, Leon, et al. <i>Why Do Digital Platforms Succeed or Fail? - A Literature Review on Success and Failure Factors</i>. 2022.","bibtex":"@inproceedings{Özcan_Koldewey_Duparc_van der Valk_Otto_Dumitrescu_2022, title={Why do Digital Platforms succeed or fail? - A Literature Review on Success and Failure Factors}, author={Özcan, Leon and Koldewey, Christian and Duparc, Estelle and van der Valk, Hendrik and Otto, Boris and Dumitrescu, Roman}, year={2022} }","short":"L.

The literature thus far acknowledges that unobservable internal firm characteristics are at least as important as observable firm- and deal-specific characteristics in regard to explaining M&A success. Thus, this paper directly asks M&A experts around the globe to shed more light on this important issue. We investigate three indices, capturing the degree of M&A 1) process standardization, 2) process duration, and 3) process attention. Next, we analyze the process participation among four organizational layers, i.e., the functional involvement of the a) top management team, b) headquarters, c) business unit management, and d) business unit functions. We predict and find that all three indices are positively associated with M&A success, while process standardization and attention to deal strategy are of particular importance. Turning to the four organizational layers, a textured analysis shows that, for instance, target valuation should be performed by the headquarters functions but not by the top management team or the business unit. Overall, our findings are important to better understand unexplored M&A success drivers and provide directions for future research. Finally, our results might help practitioners adjust their M&A process organization to further improve their M&A success.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"working_paper","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"keyword":["Mergers","Acquisitions","Success","Processes","Organization"],"user_id":"46447","_id":"20871"},{"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"keyword":["Academic success","Person–environment fit theory","Demands–abilities fit","Higher education"],"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"In this study, we draw on person–environment fit theory to analyze whether academic success is best explained by individual abilities subjectively exceeding situational demands or by abilities matching the demands. Moreover, we disentangled effects of perceived abilities and subjective person–environment (P-E) fit on academic success. All in all, 693 teacher education students participated in an online questionnaire. Students were asked to rate general requirements of their academic programs (e.g., self-discipline) on a 5-point scale in terms of (1) their own abilities and (2) the perceived relevance for their studies. P-E fit was determined by difference scores between abilities and relevance ratings. Academic success was assessed by grades, perceived performance, and study satisfaction. Data were analyzed through structural equation modeling and suggest that academic success is best explained by a match between abilities and demands. Moreover, all three criteria for academic success were more strongly related to subjective fit than to subjective abilities."}],"publication":"Higher Education","title":"The interplay between subjective abilities and subjective demands and its relationship with academic success.
