Description :
Digital platforms hold a central position in today's world economy and are said to offer a great potential for the economies and societies in the global south. Yet, to date, the scholarly literature on digital platforms has largely concentrated on business while their developmental implications remain under studied. The purpose of this article is to focus on digital platform on economics growth in the country. To do so, we first define what digital platforms are and differentiate between transaction and innovation platforms, and explain their key characteristics in terms of purpose, research foundations, material properties and business models. We add the socio-technical context digital platforms operate and the linkages to developmental outcomes. We then conduct an extensive review to explore what current areas, developmental goal. We later elaborate on few research questions to advance the studies on digital platforms for development: on indigenous innovation, digital platforms and institutions, on exacerbation of inequalities, on alternative forms of value, on the dark side of platforms and on the applicability of the platform typology for development.
Key words: -digital platform, advance technology, typology, economic growth
