Abstract
The emergence of platforms is significantly changing the organizing logic of software development. Platform owners are increasingly engaging vibrant ecosystems around their platform to foster third-party innovation. Despite all the potential benefits for complementors, however, innovation in platform ecosystems also introduced essential new risks that remain under investigated. To discover the complementors ́ risk in software ecosystems we utilize 21 interviews and 42 survey respondents to examine risk and governance mechanisms such as control structures and architectural choices to handle such.
