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 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).
