#105 Strategy in the Age of Digital Competition, Innovation and Power feat. David Yoffie

David Yoffie has been a professor at Harvard Business School for 40 years where he has authored hundreds of cases, and a number of books, the most recent being “The Business of Platforms: Strategy in the Age of Digital Competition, Innovation and Power.”

He has been writing about technology and digital for a long time, and has served on the boards of numerous companies that are at the heart of this digital explosion over the last couple of decades.

Listen as David and Greg discuss network effects and strategy, the distinction between a transaction platform and an innovation platform, and the age old question: can you teach an old dog new tricks?
