Digital platforms are radically transforming the organisational structure of value chains and the way companies organise their business.
Because they are so complex, b2b networks are mainly involved in this process and new infomediaries are emerging to reorganise company relations.
Apart from several articles, there has been little meaningful debate regarding the driving forces behind these changes.
This paper focuses on the competitive role of these new actors, and provides a conceptual framework which aims to show how these new virtual infomediaries are affecting strategic company resources and reshaping the dynamics of competition.
