Sharing Economy, Platforms and Crowds

Track Description

Topics related to the sharing economy, platforms and crowds are not only among the most widely researched areas studied by IS scholars, but also have deep economic and social implications. This track invites cutting-edge and novel research that addresses issues relating to these topics.

The sharing economy leverages platforms and other infrastructures to allow individuals to exchange underutilized resources/assets for monetary gains at very low transaction costs. Some widely known user-owned asset platforms include Airbnb, Uber, Didi, and Grab. Some other platforms, for example, facilitate sharing and renting of company-owned assets such as CitiBike, Ofo, Bird, and Lime.

Multi-sided platforms, which connect varied actors throughout the world for little marginal cost, facilitate transactions and interactions in a variety of contexts: transportation, housing and hospitality, education, dating, digital commerce, and product review sites. These platforms have revolutionized industries, for better and for worse, with both promising and discouraging economic and societal impacts.

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.
