Panel: Platform Emergence – Proactive Strategies for Companies and Employees

How should we relate to and respond to the potential consequences of platforms, as individuals, as employees, and as customers? And how can incumbent firms proactively relate to platformization? How does employment change when platforms organize work, and how can incumbent firms shape digital platforms in their industries? What are the policy and legal ramifications of platforms eating the world?
