Many people believe they have figured out how the major internet firms—Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google—have managed to be so successful. The platform economy, network effects, or some other supernatural force ensures its eventual global dominance. Jonathan Knee, an investment banker and professor, contends that although the truth is far more nuanced, investors and entrepreneurs can learn from the giants' business models and discover the secrets to long-term success in the digital economy. The most successful digital businesses, according to Knee, have a surprising variety of structural advantages that are supported by clever acquisitions, astute management, loose regulations, and frequently, fostering the belief that they are unbeatable in order to deter rivals.
