Global vs Local Network Effects by Andrei Hagiu and Julian Wright


"How to figure out whether a platform’s network effects are global or local when things are not as obvious as for Airbnb (clearly global) or TaskRabbit (clearly local)?


All other things equal, global network effects are stronger and more defensible than country-level network effects, which in turn are stronger and more defensible than city-level (or local) network effects. Many times, it is obvious whether a platform’s network effects are global or local in nature. Sometimes, however, things are less clear-cut. We’ll discuss examples of each and provide useful questions that investors can ask to determine how global or local a given startup’s network effects might be. These questions should also be useful for entrepreneurs in assessing the strength of their network effects."
