Business Empire: Industrial Platform Model
The industrial platform model is also called the S2B2C model, which is one of the standard templates for future business empires. S refers to the platform, B refers to the small and medium-sized merchants on the platform that provide services to consumers, and C refers to consumers. Platform companies use the data and algorithm advantages of the Internet to establish online systems, and serve consumers together with countless small and medium-sized merchants to form a huge collaborative network. The industrial platform model has a strong monopoly effect. It is the rule maker of the entire industry and has absolute pricing power. In China, there have been many cases of antitrust fines against industrial platform companies.
