SUMMARY:(P46) Platform Economy in Southeast Asia: Progress, Prospects and the COVID-19 Pandemic
LOCATION:K14 | 1.07
DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade, the platform economy emerged as a ‘disrup
 tive’ technology that stands against the traditional model of production an
 d consumption. As these platforms – characterized by the use of algorithmic
 ally-managed digital networks to connect users with demand and users with n
 eed – insert themselves into societies, discussions about the implications 
 of the platform economy have begun and views span a spectrum of a perfect o
 pportunity for a truly inclusive economy to a looming economic doom. Schola
 rs have taken some major approaches to explain outcomes for platform econom
 y: innovation, labor and legal issues. The panel further weighs in by provi
 ding perspectives from different areas:\n\n- Socio-cultural - How do the pl
 atforms adapt to specific country cultures? Who are the winners and losers 
 in this technological revolution?\n- Technological - What would be the impa
 ct of blockchain technology? Are startup valuations justified by the curren
 t trends?\n- Economic - In what ways do they really “disrupt” t
 he existing economic structures? What are the future prospects of these com
 panies in the context of ASEAN integration?\n- Environmental – How is the p
 latform economy faring in terms of its sustainability promises?\n- Politica
 l – How are governments responding? What are the regulatory tensions?\n\nFa
 ced by an extraordinary challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic, several industr
 ies reacted by adapting their business models in the platform economy. The 
 delivery and e-commerce platforms played a key role in bringing essential n
 eeds to users during the lockdowns. Panelists would also examine the ways i
 n which this phenomenon is unfolding in different parts of Southeast Asia. 
 The panel considers theoretical and empirical approaches from various field
 s with an aim of painting the current landscape of the platform economy in 
 Southeast Asia and comes up with possible future scenarios based on the ana
 lysis of the contributors’ findings.
