网络平台颠覆了资本主义经济的部分领域，但很难评估这种影响的程度。人们对主要平台了解得很多，但对它们接管--或未能接管--特定市场的条件知之甚少。与强调企业家缓慢接受或工人抵制的解释不同，我们辩称，市场的历史和组织特征使它们对平台模式产生抵触。在德国和英国，中介机构已经实现了不同程度的数字化。三个市场特征合在一起限制了“平台化”：(1)对价值的不可还原的定性评估；(2)抵制拆分任务所固有的复杂性和偶然性；(3)组织领域的碎片化。因此，我们展示了现场音乐中的工作动态如何限制平台模型的牵引力。然而，部分和混合形式的数字化仍有助于加强对现场音乐工作者的纪律，威胁到薪酬和工作条件。
Online platforms have disrupted parts of the capitalist economy, but assessing the magnitude of this effect is difficult. Much is known about major platforms, but less about the conditions under which they take over—or fail to take over—a given market. Unlike explanations emphasising slow take‐up by entrepreneurs or worker resistance, we argue that historical and organisational characteristics of markets make them resistant to the platform model. In Germany and the UK, intermediaries have digitalised to varying degrees. Three market characteristics have combined to limit ‘platformisation’: (1) irreducibly qualitative assessments of value; (2) the complexity and contingencies inherent in the task that resist unbundling (3) fragmentation of the organisational field. Hence we show how the dynamics of work in live music limit the traction of the platform model. However, partial and hybrid forms of digitalisation still contribute towards intensified discipline over live music workers, threatening pay and working conditions.
