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 sharingeconomy 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 sharingeconomy in order to determine how value can be created and appropriated within this novel economic environment powered primarily by technology. This minitrackembraces both retrospective and progressive views of how the sharingeconomy 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 sharingeconomy 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).
