Track Description
Topics related to the sharing economy, platforms, and crowds are not only among the most widely researched areas within the field of information systems, but also bear deep economic and societal implications. This track invites cutting-edge research that addresses issues relating to these topics. The sharing economy has disrupted conventional socio-economic activities by allowing individuals to exchange underutilized assets or resources for monetary gains at very low transactional costs. Under this broad umbrella, sharing can stem from user-owned assets, as exemplified on Airbnb, Didi, Grab, and Uber, or take place through the renting of company-owned resources, as epitomized on Bird, CitiBike, Lime, and Zipcar.
