Innov Acts hosted doctoral candidate Milena Di Nenno, who contributed to the MISQ Insider initiative by interviewing the authors of a recent MIS Quarterly study examining the evolution of Douyin, the China-based version of TikTok. The study traces how Douyin transitioned from relying on dominant platforms to becoming a platform leader in its own right, highlighting the strategic choices involved in reducing dependency while scaling rapidly.

Innov-acts supports research engagement that connects doctoral training with top-tier Information Systems scholarship and insights on digital business and platform strategy.
