Abstrakt: This paper explores how turbulent environments in the form of recessions affect industry evolution and competitive dynamics in platform markets, breaking through the high entry barriers in place, allowing competitors with a superior price-performance proposition to improve their market performance and even leapfrog the market leader. In doing so, it extends traditional perspectives on platform competition that emphasize challenges associated with complementors, ecosystem governance, technology performance, and innovation, including an often forgotten but omnipresent and relevant factor: the environment surrounding firms and industries. Our study informs platform literature and management practice in turbulent environments and is supported by empirical evidence on the smartphone operating system industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
