We examine how exercising control over a technology platform can increase prof-its and innovation. By choosing how much to open and when to bundle enhance-ments, platform sponsors can influence choices of ecosystem partners. Platform openness invites developer participation but sacrifices direct sales. Bundling en-hancements early drives developers away but bundling late delays platform growth. Ironically, developers can prefer sponsored platforms to unmanaged open stan-dards despite giving up their applications. Results can inform innovation strategy, antitrust and intellectual property law, and the management of competition
