Exploring new business models and platform strategies

Our students can help you evaluate platform opportunities, explore new business model designs, and develop strategies for creating network effects and multi-sided markets.

Your project may focus on: 

• Platform opportunity assessment and business model design, or
• Multi-sided market analysis with value propositions, or
• Platform architecture and technology requirements overview, or
• Marketplace mechanism design considerations, or
• Network growth strategy to achieve critical mass 

The specific focus will be determined through initial discussions about your business model transformation objectives. 

Ideal for:

• Companies transforming traditional business models into platforms 
• Organisations building digital marketplaces 
• Businesses leveraging network effects for competitive advantage 
• Start-ups designing scalable platform businesses 
  

Students offer fresh perspectives informed by current academic knowledge. Projects are completed as part of their learning and provide exploratory insights rather than professional consulting advice. 

When you express interest, we will evaluate if your specific project is compatible with the academic knowledge and capabilities of our students and our course learning objectives. 

If your project is accepted, it will go into a queue to be allocated to a student or student team. 

Projects are completed during our academic semesters or quarters, with students spending 8-10 weeks working on the project.
