Special Issue Guest Editors: Alanah Mitchell and Troy J. Strader

OBJECTIVE On-demand services provide a link between organizations/individuals with excess capacity and the consumers who need the service. Some of the most popular examples include Uber (transportation sharing), Airbnb (housing sharing), and Wework (office sharing). There has been dramatic growth in on-demand services over the past few years, but there is a limited amount of research investigating the range of behavioral, strategic and technical issues that explain the success, failure, and impact these services will have on existing industries and the overall economy.

The purpose of this special issue is to investigate the breadth of issues that impact the success, failure, and future directions for on-demand service firms and the sharing economy. The intent is to address research issues related to these services to better understand the underlying behavioral, strategic, and technical issues from the perspectives of the users, service providers, and society. Of particular interest is studies that are multidisciplinary incorporating two or more of the following research areas – information systems, electronic commerce, business functions (marketing, finance, human resources, business law, etc.), information technology and related social sciences (economics, sociology, psychology, ethics). Studies can utilize any methodology to address these important and timely research issues.

TOPICS The objective for this special issue is to present a comprehensive set of articles addressing research issues for on-demand service consumers, service providers, and the overall sharing economy. Topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following: • On-demand service consumer behavior • On-demand service provider growth strategies • Revenue models and financing sources • Factors impacting on-demand service success/failure • Factors impacting start-ups and growth for on-demand service firms • On-demand service marketing, advertising, and promotion • Social media strategies for on-demand services • On-demand service trust and ethical issues • Human resource management for on-demand services • On-demand service technology infrastructure • On-demand service payment systems • Sharing economy industry competition, entry barriers, and substitution • Sharing economy diffusion patterns • Network externalities and the sharing economy
