In the smartphone sector we are discerning a competition between Symbian, Apple, and Google for the dominating mobile platform. In the design of their mobile platforms and operating system these organizations use varying degrees of “openness” on different platform elements. We follow a design science approach to construct and apply a framework to better understand how these organizations vary the degrees of openness of different information resources in order to create successful mobile…

How open is this platform? The meaning and measurement of platform openness from the complementors’ perspective
TLDR
Drawing on recently advanced scale development methodologies, this work conceptualizes PPO as a multidimensional construct and empirically validate it with important consequent variables linked to developers’ continuous platform contributions, and develops a construct called perceived platform openness (PPO).
Peripheral Motivation and Creativity in Controlled Platforms: an Analyisis Based on Facebook and iPhone Application Developers
TLDR
This paper uses a questionnaire to investigate the influence of different motivation structures on output measured in lines of code and describes how intrinsic motivation, extrinsic, and willingness to take risk influence the activity of developers of Facebook and iPhone applications.
Evaluating Platform Business Models in the Telecommunications Industry via Framework-based Case Studies of Cloud and Smart Home Service Platforms
