About your instructors
Geoffrey Parker
Professor of Engineering, Dartmouth College, Visiting Scholar, MIT Sloan School; Research Fellow, MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy
I am a professor of engineering in the Thayer School at Dartmouth College where I also serve as Director of the Master of Engineering Management Program. In addition, I am a visiting scholar and research fellow at the MIT Sloan School’s Initiative for the Digital Economy where I lead platform industry research studies and co-chair the annual MIT Platform Strategy Summit. I work to understand the economics and strategy of network "platform" industries. I co-developed the theory of “two sided networks” which provides a mechanism to explain pricing in network markets. I work with numerous organizations to help them understand and craft their platform strategies. WW Norton published our book "Platform Revolution" in 2016 - this is our attempt to make the research accessible to a wide audience. It's now in 10 languages and we're gratified to hear that people are using it to help inform their platform strategies.

What real people are saying?
Héctor Iván Lira Hevia

"The course and collaboration with peers clearly showed how different ideas around one topic can create value for everyone. This was a unique opportunity to learn not just from extraordinary faculty members but from peers all over the world."
Phumlani Zuma
Director, Jikele Consulting
"The best parts of the course were the informative professor videos and the assignment reviews with course leaders. Also the discussions and reflections gave one more insight on how others understood things."
Karen Taylor
General Manager Asia Pacific, Anaqua
"Thought provoking and with up-to-date and global cases studies (e.g. Alibaba). Especially good for anyone in a tech-enabled industry, but I'd recommend it for anyone really. Any business can be disrupted by a 'platform' driven competitor and your competitors might not be who you think they are!"
