value derived from network effects comes from - correct answer ✔three
sources: exchange, staying power, and complementary benefits


exchange - correct answer ✔creates value in network effects


staying power - correct answer ✔the long-term viability of a product or
service; networks with greater numbers of users are stronger


switching costs - correct answer ✔relates to staying power; the cost a
consumer incurs when moving from one product to another. aka sticky,
creating friction, lock-in


total cost of ownership (tco) - correct answer ✔an economic measure of the
full cost of owning a product (typically computing hardware and/or software).
includes direct costs such as purchase price, plus indirect costs such as
training, support, and maintenance

,complementary benefits - correct answer ✔products or services that add
additional value to the primary product or service that makes up a network


application programming interfaces (APIs) - correct answer ✔programming
hooks, or guidelines, published by firms that tell other programs how to get a
service to perform a task such as send or receive data


daily active users (dau) - correct answer ✔refers to the number of unique
visitors, on average, who use a product or service


customer acquisition costs (cac) - correct answer ✔the amount of money a
firm spends to convince a customer to buy (or in the case of free products, try
or use) a product or service


one-sided market - correct answer ✔a market that derives most of its value
from a single class of users (e.g. instant messaging)


same-side exchange benefits - correct answer ✔benefits derived by
interaction among members of a single class of participant (e.g. the exchange
value when increasing numbers of IM users gain the ability to message each
other)


two-sided market - correct answer ✔network market that comprises two
distinct categories of participant, both of which are needed to deliver value for
the network to work (e.g. video game console owners and developers of video
games)


cross-side exchange benefit - correct answer ✔when an increase in the
number of users on one side of the market (console owners, for example)
creates a rise in the other side (software developers)

, network markets experience what type of competition? - correct answer
✔early, fierce competition; the positive feedback loop inherent in network
effects causes this. firms are aggressive in early stages because once a
leader becomes clear, bandwagons form, and new adopters overwhelmingly
favor the leader product over rivals

bargaining power over partners


oligopoly - correct answer ✔a market dominated by a small number of
powerful sellers


technological leapfrogging - correct answer ✔competing by offering a new
technology that is so superior to existing offerings that the value overcomes
the total resistance that older technologies might enjoy via exchange,
switching cost, and complementary benefits; often is not successful

encourage

move early (amazon vs microsoft in cloud computing)
- subsidize product adoption (paypal, zoom)
