报告摘要：Large-scale platforms (LSPs) with valuation and awareness advantages have enabled competing small-scale platforms (SSPs) to be embedded in their platforms. This compatibility strategy creates a new channel, the compatible channel, through which customers can purchase services from an SSP via the LSP. Meanwhile, more platforms have been introducing add-on services to enhance their profitability. This study develops stylized game models to characterize the interaction between an LSP and an SSP, and explores their strategic and operational decisions on platform compatibility under add-on services. Our major research findings are as follows. First, we identify the conditions for platform compatibility: compatibility becomes an equilibrium strategy if the proportion of demand through the compatible channel falls within an intermediate range. Second, compatibility has opposite impacts on service pricing: At a low proportion of demand through the compatible channel, the two platforms engage in a price war; otherwise, they both raise prices. Finally, some model extensions further verify the robustness of the conclusions.
