Abstract/Contents

Abstract: How do low-power actors compete in intermediated markets? Prior research on intermediated markets has often taken the perspective of powerful intermediaries. In this dissertation, I take the perspective of low-power actors and examine how they compete. Three distinct papers constitute the core of this cumulative dissertation. In the first paper, a conceptual analysis, I examine how complementors manage their dependence on platform owners in platform-based markets. In the second paper, I examine how sellers resolve the "big fish, big pond" dilemma in their choice of intermediaries. In the third paper, I conduct an empirical analysis of how competition in the intermediary portfolio affects the success of employees' intra- and entrepreneurial activities. Taken together, I examine the antecedents and consequences of the strategies that low-powered actors can use to compete in intermediated markets.
