In order to help to build a community of scholars interested in studying platform-based and digitally-enabled business models through the lens of classic core strategy questions, popular PDWs were organized at AOM 2020 and 2021 conferences (both with over 200 live participants, and the former with over 1600 YouTube views, the STR division's second most popular YouTube video). These two past PDWs used, respectively, corporate-level strategy and organization governance theories as lenses for understanding digital businesses. This year, as an extension of this series, we propose to examine digital businesses through a resource-based theoretical lens by considering the implications of digitization for theories of competitive advantage, and vice versa. We will focus on both how digitization broadens the application of existing theories, and how its novel features require changes to resource-based theory. We especially want to explore how these phenomena relate to emerging stakeholder-based theories on competitive advantage.
