BIO

I am a freshman at Florida State University pursuing a double major in Finance and Mathematics. I currently reside in Jacksonville, Florida; however, my family has moved around a lot having lived in places like Chicago, and Connecticut. My career aspirations are focused on the finance sector, aiming to excel in the M&A market as an Investment Banking Analyst. Currently, I am sharpening my skills through practical experience in diverse roles: as a Financial Analyst at the Health Foundation of South Florida, a Private Equity Analyst for Vangal, and an SAT/Math tutor through my freelancing business. These positions allow me to build a solid foundation in financial analysis, investment strategies, and educational mentorship. My commitment to professional growth in finance is paralleled by my dedication to fostering academic excellence among the younger generation.

Complementor Evolution, Power-Dependence and Performance: Evidence from the Video-game Industry

Abstract

Complementor Evolution and Power-Dependence impact on Performance is the result of competition between platforms facilitating the interaction of different groups using a certain service or product. Since many platforms compete with one another for performance, it’s important to analyze their mode of evolution through complements and promotion strategies. Our goal in this project is to investigate how the complementors can rebalance their relationships within power dependence to finalize a power-dependence theory. We explore the evolution of the network to create power balance between competitive ecosystems. The study we conducted analyzes over 14,000 games across multiple platforms to examine and find relationships between the complementor evolution and platform dependence. The linear regression provides support for our theory indicating how complementor evolution and platform dependence impact complementor performance. Overall, this study stands to contribute to power dependence theory by enhancing dependence strategies. It also generates practical implications to create an effective solution for navigating ecosystem dynamics.
