Abstract: Today open innovation strategies are widespread among large companies especially in ICTs. However some companies are experiencing difficulties when it comes to managing the various external partners enrolled on their platforms to co-create new products or services. Platform-based ecosystems support open innovation strategies and are designed in order to achieve continuous innovation. In such a context successful organizations - that is, continually innovative organizations - are distinguished by their ability to implement a strategy that dynamically orchestrates three intertwined central processes: coordination process, platform governance process and capabilities renewal process. This paper discusses each of these processes and then presents rules and guidelines for strategizing in platform-based ecosystems, thus providing clarity and direction to managers and platform leader wannabes.
