Abstract

Platform ecosystems have recently drawn considerable research attention to scholars in various disciplines, as the influence of platforms is increasingly relevant in the economy. However, most research focused on the technological- and business aspect of platforms taking the viewpoint of the platform owner. Little research has been conducted to understand and analyze heterogeneous types of complementors in platform ecosystem. To this end, we conduct a literature review of relevant journals and conferences on the view of complementors in platform ecosystems. Based on this analysis we derive two important topics for future research: the heterogeneity of complementors in platform ecosystems and the individual evaluation of complementors. This scientific article contributes to the understanding of complementors in platform ecosystems in the information systems literature by structuring the relevant research of the complementors with respect to their role and contributions to platform ecosystem and presenting possible avenues for future research.
