52nd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-52)

Submission Deadline (June 15, 2018)
Mini-track: The Sharing Economy
Track: Collaboration Systems and Technologies
Sharing Economy has gained notable attention within mainstream
media as a
new economic paradigm that leverages peer-to-peer technological
platforms
to facilitate exchange of resources among individuals who are
joined via
fluid relational networks. While there are many practitioners who
have
prophesized the sharing economy as a game-changer for how
organizations and
society function, there are also a number of detractors who
questioned the
uncertain and potentially disruptive future that is brought about
by such
peer-to-peer exchanges. Critics have painted a dismal picture of
the
sharing economy as a means for individuals and/or firms to dodge
proper
regulations and live beyond their means, which in turn contributes
to
doomsday scenarios of massive job displacements and spending
habits
detrimental to society. In light of the opportunities and
challenges posed
by the sharing economy, there is a clear urgency for a systematic
and
thorough scrutiny of how value creation and appropriation can take
place
within such economic environments while minimizing its negative
impact to
society.
The aim of this minitrack is to sensitize both academics and
practitioners
to the latest trends and developments in the sharing economy in
order to
determine how value can be created and appropriated within this
novel
economic environment powered primarily by technology. This
minitrack
embraces both retrospective and progressive views of how the
sharing
economy has evolved and would transform with technological
advances. We
welcome papers that identify and address knowledge gaps in how
emergent
technologies are shaping the access and sharing of resources
within online
peer-to-peer communities. Papers that subscribe to
inter-disciplinary
perspectives and/or adopt mixed methods are particularly welcome.
Topics of interest of the minitrack include, but are not limited
to:
- Collaborative consumption and production in sharing economy
- Crowdfunding and communal investment
- Crowdsourcing and open innovation
- Crowd platform strategies
- Data privacy and security in sharing economy
- Design and innovation of crowd platforms
- Digital business models of sharing economy
- Digital labor markets and workforce management in sharing
economy
- Disruptive innovation in sharing economy
- Market mechanics of sharing economy
- Policy formulation for sharing economy
- Reputation and trust in sharing economy
- Social network in sharing economy
- Socio-economic and political challenges of sharing economy
- Value appropriation in sharing economy
Best papers accepted to this mini-track will be fast-tracked to
Internet
Research, an international and refereed journal that is indexed
and
abstracted in major databases (e.g., SSCI, SCI, ABI/INFORM
Global).
