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)
