移动的平台所有者面临着一种紧张。一方面，它们促进了创造性，使第三方能够创新引人注目的服务。另一方面，他们监管其平台上的创新，以保护其商业利益。这种紧张关系导致平台所有者和第三方在谈判创新的程度和性质时进行复杂的互动。本文概述了正在进行的研究，应用结构叙事分析，以简化这些复杂的相互作用序列的简单通用的生成和控制行动。这些简化的结构化行动序列将有助于确定解释平台所有者如何管理创新以及控制和生成悖论的机制。分析的方法说明了使用经验数据的相互作用，发生在苹果iPhone和谷歌Android平台。这些数据来源于报道移动的行业事件的博客。
Mobile platform owners are faced with a tension. On one hand they foster generativity to enable third parties to innovate compelling services. On the other hand they regulate innovation on their platforms in order to protect their commercial interests. This tension leads to complex interactions between platform owners and third parties as they negotiate the extent and nature of innovation. This paper outlines on-going research that applies structural narrative analysis in order to simplify these complex interactions into sequences of simpler generic generative and controlling actions. It is intended that these simplified structured sequences of actions will facilitate the identification of the mechanisms that explain how platform owners manage innovation and the paradox of control and generativity. The approach to analysis is illustrated using empirical data concerning interactions that have occurred on the Apple iPhone and Google Android platforms. This data is sourced from blogs reporting events in the mobile industry.
