    Platform Governance in the Sharing Economy
    (Academy of Management, 2021-06-26) Kyprianou, Christina; Navis, Chad; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    Dominant theories of platform governance—focused on innovation platforms and the technical compatibility of platform producers as a value creation imperative—overlook the importance of fostering the relational compatibility of both platform producers and consumers in sharing economy platforms. To address this oversight, we develop a theoretical framework of platform governance that accounts for the unique features and challenges of platform-based value creation in the sharing economy. Our framework is grounded in two essential governance levers shown to have general relevance to platforms: the selection of platform participants and the structuring of platform participant interactions. We build on these foundational levers to develop new theory, and provide examples of the distinct governance practices that sharing economy platforms utilize to ‘pull’ these two levers to opposing levels of intensity to create value. To further demonstrate the usefulness and novelty of our framework, we develop propositions linking attributes of transactions common in the sharing economy to the platform governance approach most suitable for fostering relational compatibility. Our work offers a conceptual foundation for future research interested in developing new knowledge on the heterogenous governance practices of platforms.

    Social Media and Strategic Leadership
    (Edward Elgar Publishing, 2024-05-14) Kyprianou, Christina; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    This chapter discusses both the benefits and risks of social media for strategic leaders, and develops a framework of leader social media engagement through a strategic lens. It first identifies key individual, organizational, and environmental attributes influencing the goals leaders may pursue through social media. It subsequently considers the impact of these goals on five social media engagement choices, and theorizes the impact of these choices on cognitive, affective, and relational strategic processes. The resulting framework aims to inspire future research at the intersection of social media and strategic leadership, as well as equip practitioners with a deeper understanding of the potential drivers and outcomes of their social media activity.
