Biznesore

Biznesore is a term used in theoretical economics and business studies to describe a form of value creation that emphasizes extracting and concentrating productive value from digital networks and platform ecosystems, analogous to ore mined from a resource-rich site. In this usage, biznesore refers to how small firms and individual contributors generate substantial outputs by aggregating dispersed micro-activities on open platforms, while the platform operator captures a significant share of the resulting value.

Origin and usage: The term appears in academic papers and industry analyses dating from the 2010s into the 2020s, often in discussions of platform capitalism and open innovation. It is a neologism formed from elements suggesting business activity and the idea of extractable value within networks.

Mechanisms: Biznesore arises through network effects, data accumulation, standardization of interfaces, and modular production. Contributors provide labor, code, or content, and platforms coordinate matching, reputation, and payments. The locus of value creation can shift toward platform owners, while participants benefit from access, liquidity, and scale.

Implications and critique: Proponents argue that biznesore models accelerate innovation and reduce transaction costs. Critics warn of value capture imbalances, data monopolies, and governance risks. Regulatory discussions focus on antitrust considerations, transparency, and the design of compensation or revenue-sharing mechanisms.
