Michael Cusumano, Sloan Management Review Distinguished Professor of Management at the MIT Sloan School, has researched platform businesses and competition for over 30 years. In this episode of the Inspiring the Next Game podcast, he explores the role of data in platform competition with Massimo Russo, BCG Henderson Institute Fellow researching the Internet of Things, data economy, and its impact on business. *** About the BCG Henderson Institute The BCG Henderson Institute is the Boston Consulting Group’s think tank, dedicated to exploring and developing valuable new insights from business, technology, economics, and science by embracing the powerful technology of ideas.
