Examining Network Effects and Platform Differentiation in Trend Community E-commerce: Case Study of Poizon

Abstract

With the rapid rise of platform-based enterprises in the digital economy, particularly in the post-epidemic era, online sales have become the primary sales channel for trendy goods. Many platform-based enterprises that combine community and e-commerce attributes have flourished. This paper examines the network effect of community e-commerce platforms in the trend industry, using Poizon as a case study. The success of Poizon provides valuable insights for similar enterprises, and network effects are one of the keys to its success. How-ever, Poizon still faces some challenges, which are analyzed from the perspective of net-work effects, and corresponding solutions are proposed. Chapter two provides an overview of network effects in the network platform economy, while chapter three analyzes the net-work effect of Poizon as a power-flow community e-commerce platform. Finally, chapter four concludes the paper.
