Research on the Impact of User Participation on Value Innovation of Digital Platform—Based on the Individual Developers Innovation

Abstract

Abstract: Digital platforms provide conditions for communication between users and developers, and different developers have to engage in innovative competition in order to win more user participation. As one of the participants in digital platforms, individual developers are increasingly becoming an important force for functional upgrades and value provision. At present, the academic community's exploration of platform value innovation mostly focuses on organizational developers, with less research conducted from the perspective of individual developers. Taking the value supply of individual developers as the research object, I analyze the impact mechanism of user participation on value innovation from the perspective of plugin updates. Research finds that user participation is beneficial for digital platform value innovation; Between user participation and value innovation, there is a masking effect in the competition of similar functions among individual developers, while there is a mediating effect in the supply of complementary functions among individual developers. Compared to competition in similar functions, providing complementary functions for individual developers is of greater significance for promoting value innovation in digital platforms, and has certain implications for platform innovation and governance.

Key words: digital platform, value innovation, innovation competition
