Abstract

The vocabulary used in economic and business analyses of information and communication technology (ICT) developments comprises terms such as business models, ecosystems and platforms. Such terms require clarification and translation to concepts used in general economic and business analyses. The process that interests us in this chapter is the intermediating role of platforms for service innovation. Examples include mobile phone-based platforms that enable innovation in payment processes and related service transactions; hotel booking sites that enable innovation in several related tourist services; and technical platforms for development of services related to ‘smart homes.’ As illustration we use platforms developed to connect vehicles with a variety of actors and resources.

According to Alderson (1965), a transvection is ‘a single unit of action of the marketing system. This unit of action is consummated when an end-product is placed in the hands of the ultimate consumer, but the transvection comprises all prior action necessary to produce this final result, going all the way back to conglomerate resources’ (p. 92).
