From the Back Cover
Google has done it with search-based advertising, and Japanese mobile giant
NTT DoCoMo did it with iMode. Sotheby's did it more than two centuries ago.
MySpace is doing it with GenY.
They all cracked the catalyst code-and they couldn't have done it using
traditional business strategies and tactics.
These two-sided businesses generate value by creating simultaneous and
mutually beneficial relationships among the different groups of customers
they serve. Google brings together advertisers and eyeballs through its
search platform. Simon Properties provides a place for retailers and
shoppers to transact. So does eBay-but on the Web.
In a book that challenges conventional wisdom about pricing, product
design, organization, and incentives, David Evans and Richard Schmalensee
provide the first step-by-step framework for launching and sustaining these
dynamic businesses. They examine the most successful catalysts or all time,
as well as many that tried and failed, and provide original insights into
the secrets from early history, modern-day business, and the author's
groundbreaking research into what really makes these companies tick.
Rapid advances in communication technologies are making it easier than ever
to link diverse groups into catalyst communities around the world. Evans
and Schmalensee say that is why two-sided businesses, or catalysts, are
today's power brokers-and they are quickly disrupting existing industry
ecosystems and gaining unprecedented prominence in the economy.
Whether you are an entrepreneur, executive, or investor, Catalyst Code
provides a complete guide to understanding the special dynamics and unique
problems that catalysts face-where the pitfalls are, and, most important,
how to make the most of the astounding opportunities.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
