…According to one study by MIT Sloan Management Review, only 17% of digital platforms survive the competitive dynamics of markets. These failures will weaken the companies involved and make them more attractive M&A targets. Enterprises that are relatively new to DT could also be tempting targets. Digital platforms require a period of maturation to capture the benefits of the expected…
