A new wave of digital e-commerce platforms is emerging, posing a challenge to industry giants like Alibaba and Amazon. Social e-commerce platforms - such as Shopify, BigCommerce, PinDuoDuo, and SEA Ltd. have successfully established a global presence by adopting innovative business models that surpass traditional approaches. This episode delves into the factors driving the rapid rise of social e-commerce.

Firstly, these platforms prioritize an enhanced user experience, offering intuitive interfaces and an engaging, often gamified, shopping journey within a virtual mall setting. Secondly, unlike conventional e-commerce sites or social media platforms, social e-commerce effectively merges the advantages of both direct and indirect network effects while seamlessly integrating complementary services. By examining the best practices of leading social e-commerce companies, business leaders can gain valuable insights to reimagine and transform their digital shopping experiences. As social e-commerce continues to grow, it is poised to become a significant force in the future of online shopping.

Renowned global researchers Prof. Ashish Sinha from the University of Queensland Business School and Prof. Kiran Pedada from the Asper School of Business, University of Manitoba, offer valuable insights into the future of e-commerce, focusing on the emerging dominance of social commerce platforms.
