Business models for the sharing economy: charting the multidisciplinary research field
本文概念化共享经济商业模式的研究领域,总结特刊六篇文章如何推动市场动态、数字技术和可持续性方面的实证与概念洞见,为跨学科研究提供未来方向。
In recent years, sharing economy business models (BMs) have gained substantial research attention. This stream has led to several important insights, but due to its practical nature and diversity, it has provided limited conceptual integration. This introductory article conceptualizes the research field of sharing economy BMs and their implications for market dynamics, digital technology, and sustainability. Furthermore, we summarize the six articles published in the special issue of sharing economy BMs and discuss how each of them pushes the boundaries of empirical and conceptual insights in the field. Overall, this special issue contributes to a deeper understanding of research in the intersection of the sharing economy and business models and develops a call for future research across the three dimensions of market dynamics, technology, and sustainability.
