Sharing Economy, Platforms and Crowds

Track Description
Topics around sharing economy, platforms, and crowds have become focal areas of research in information systems. This track continues a series of prior tracks at the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS) and invites cutting-edge research on these topics. The papers may address one or more of these topics.

Information technology (IT) has enabled the creation of multi-sided platforms, which connect varied actors throughout the world for little marginal cost. These platforms facilitate transactions and interactions in a variety of contexts: transportation, housing and hospitality, crowdfunding, fintech, classified ads, education and massive open online courses (MOOCs), dating, e-commerce, and product review sites. These platforms have disrupted and revolutionized industries, for better and for worse, with both promising and discouraging economic and societal impacts.

The sharing economy in particular leverages platforms and other infrastructures to allow individuals to offer and share their assets with others and have had significant social, legal and economic impacts. Typical user-owned asset platforms include Airbnb, Uber, Didi, Grab, NetJets, and Ouibring. However, the sharing economy also includes platforms that facilitates sharing and renting of company-owned assets such as CitiBike, Ofo, Bird, and Lime, and this track will be open to this broad definition of sharing economy platforms.

Crowd-based models of content production, innovation, funding among others leverage the capability of digital platforms and infrastructures to connect distributed and heterogeneous individuals and organizations for a variety of economic, social, and societal purposes. Here again, the track will entertain crowd-based models within the organization as well as beyond the organizational boundaries.
