Andrew McAfee
“The platform can also use the extensive tool kit of revenue management techniques to shape which suppliers each buyer sees, and how prominently. It’s not too cynical to expect that a platform might use this power to feature lesser-known suppliers over more famous ones, all else being equal.”
Andrew McAfee, Machine, Platform, Crowd: Harnessing Our Digital Future

Craig D. Lounsbrough
“To simply emote is not to express an opinion. Rather, it is an attempt to force a point of view that won’t stand on its own merits.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough
