Platform ecosystems are complex ecologies of firms with individual and collective, intertwined interests, whose expansion and growth follows through the co-evolution of the digital platform core and the ecosystem participants’ interests and stakes. Adhering to a sociotechnical perspective, this chapter proposes a research agenda to study the co-evolution of platform ecosystems’ technical and social aspects comprising the digital platform and its ecosystem of heterogeneous stakeholders. The proposed research agenda seeks to provide a basis to generate both descriptive and design theories when studying platform ecosystems.
