+++ CALL FOR PAPERS +++ Wirtschaftsinformatik 2020 (WI2020) Conference: 9-13 Mar 2020, Potsdam, Germany Track: "Platforms and the Sharing Economy" https://wi2020.de/de/node/390 Submission due date: 16 Aug 2019
TRACK DESCRIPTION: ================== Technological advances and the economics of platforms have triggered a major trend towards "platformization," where coordination rather than ownership of resources is at the heart of economic activity. Novel business models have emerged that challenge traditional firms and institutions and continue to blur the lines between personal and professional spheres. Enabled by information technology, projects and companies are funded by individuals online (e.g., Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Companisto), simple and complex work is distributed and coordinated through digital platforms (e.g., AMT, TaskRabbit, Upwork), and goods and services are effectively coordinated, matched, sold, rented, or consumed from peer to peer (e.g., eBay, Airbnb, Uber, Getaround, BlaBlaCar, and many more). Platforms and the sharing economy have grown significantly in the past few years to the point where they have impacted nearly all industries. This track welcomes research that expands our knowledge of nascent developments and the underlying mechanisms of platforms and the sharing economy to explore how digital technology influences activities and value creation in peer-to-peer networks and communities and how this, in turn, shapes developments of our society as a whole. We are equally interested in work that provides insight into the sharing of and access to tangible resources, such as financial capital, property and physical goods, as well as in work investigating the sharing and access to intangible resources, such as knowledge and social capital. Further, this track also explicitly welcomes design-oriented research in the context of the sharing economy.
Covered areas include: ====================== * The sharing economy, collaborative consumption and the collaborative economy (e.g., sharing practices, innovative business models) * Crowdfunding (philanthropic, reward-based, peer-to-peer lending, equity-based) * Crowdsourcing (open-source, open innovation, commons-based peer production) * The economics of peer-to-peer marketplaces and platforms (e.g., platforms as two-sided markets, network effects) * The sociology of peer-to-peer marketplaces and platforms (e.g., interactions, social order, social behavior, deviant behavior, discrimination) * The influence of platform-, crowd-, and sharing-based models on innovation and entrepreneurship * Digital labor markets, peer-to-peer work arrangements, and their effects on the workforce * Trust, reputation, and rating/review systems on digital platforms (e.g., outcomes, cues and design elements, fake and hired reviews) * Implications, opportunities, and risks of algorithmic rankings and choice in the platform and sharing economy (e.g. fairness, concentration, manipulation) * Pricing mechanisms in peer-to-peer marketplaces and platforms * Policy challenges (e.g., consumer and labor protection, insurance and taxation, competitive and antitrust considerations) * Data governance, ethics, and regulatory issues related to platforms and the sharing economy (e.g., data privacy, data portability)
