The editorial team of R&D Management, including Prof. Alexander Brem, Marina Dabić, Thomas Clauß, Sascha Kraus and Paavo Ritala, has published a special issue on sharing economy business models.
This special edition features six articles, which explore the topic from three key perspectives.
These perspectives not only address crucial aspects of the current discourse but also highlight significant directions for future research:
- Market dynamics - e.g. the roles and (dis)advantages for entrants and incumbents pursuing sharing economy BMs
- Digital technology - e.g. the role of digital platforms and datafication in sharing economy
- Sustainability - e.g., the "rebound effect" challenge inherent in most of the sharing economy BMs and the sustainability & circularity opportunities.
The special issue is accessible free of charge.
