Abstract

In order to comply with the requirements of the times, in view of the problem that the strength of the main enterprises of the digital platform ecosystem is too different, which leads to too large differences in resources. From the perspective of the niche, firstly, this paper integrates the three governance modes of "hierarchical governance", "cross-level governance" and "panoramic comprehensive rational analysis framework", and puts forward the "panoramic joint governance mode from the perspective of niche". Secondly, the two cases of Haier COSMOPlat Ecology and Huawei Smart Car Ecosphere are selected, and the exploratory case analysis and comparative study methods are used to carry out corresponding analyses on the two cases to verify the feasibility of the new governance mode. The study found that the essence of this governance mode is to create more connection points by introducing a resource-sharing platform based on the new generation of information technology, breaking the fault-type hierarchical governance, focusing on solving problems at all levels, and attracting more regulatory bodies to conduct joint governance. Through these, we can expand the niche width of the digital platform ecosystem, then reduce the barriers to resource sharing among the subjects of the digital platform ecosystem. By applying this mode, different forms of digital platform ecosystems can achieve efficient operation.
