Abstract Based on Resource Dependence Theory, this study focuses on new ventures launching businesses within platform ecosystems and analyzes the impact of network position transitions of platform-dependent entrepreneurs on business model innovation. The research findings indicate that:①there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between network position transition (knowledge position transition and structural position transition) on both business model innovation and resource substitutive reconfiguration; ②resource substitutive reconfiguration partially mediates the relationship between network position transition (knowledge position transition and structural position transitions) and business model innovation; ③accumulation affordance and variation affordance significantly moderate the relationship between knowledge position transitions and business model innovation; variation affordance significantly moderates the relationship between structural position transitions and business model innovation, whereas accumulation affordance does not have a significant moderating effect between structural position transitions and business model innovation.
