Resources Sharing

Over the years, as people's lives have improved, our need for transportation and accommodation has increased, driving the rapid growth of the sharing economy. Some well-known network sharing platforms, such as Uber, Drip and Airbnb, provide a large number of convenient options for users with transactional needs, make more use of idle tourism, accommodation and other resources. Sharing economy platforms continue to improve the content and format of their products, but at the same time, the future of sharing platforms and the difficulty of competition is a concern as more platform companies become involved and prices become more transparent. Under this circumstance, optimizing product pricing has become an urgent need for many sharing economy platforms. In this paper, we take Airbnb as the starting point and conduct an empirical analysis of the blocking behavior of homeowners based on proprietary data to explore the factors that affect their product supply. We find that price, number of beds, and listing type all have a significant impact on blocking houses. After that, we conducted further research on price factors and developed a model aiming at profit maximization to obtain the best pricing range for the region and provide suggestions for pricing strategies.

Conceptual Paper

Purpose This paper aims to provide lessons from the emergence of the sharing economy after the 2008 recession and helps managers prepare more effectively for recessions in the future. Design/methodology/approach In this conceptual paper, the authors build on research on the sharing economy and study the best practices contributing to the sharing economy’s emergence and growth after the 2008 recession. The authors identify the key characteristics of this new economic sector and share lessons that can be used by other companies. Findings The authors recommend five major takeaways: seeking a more flexible supply; actively watching the trends; leveraging customers like employees; using advanced data science and technology like the sharing economy companies; and proactively avoiding panicked responses. This will help companies succeed during recessionary times – and the boom times that follow. Originality/value This is the first paper that, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, investigates the interplay between the sharing economy and recession and highlights practical lessons.

The Future

Algorithms form an increasingly important part of our daily lives, even if we are often unaware of it. They are enormously useful in many different ways. They facilitate the sharing economy, help detect diseases, assist government agencies in crime control, and help us choose what series or film to watch. Yet, there is also a darker side to algorithms, and that is that they (and their applications) can easily interfere with our fundamental rights. This column explores some of the main fundamental rights challenges set by the pervasiveness of algorithms, and it presents a brief outlook for the future.

The Impact

Sharing economy is cooperation and sharing based on providing the opportunity to access goods and services to those, who precisely need such a service. This paper attempts to organise the yet unsettled areas of sharing economy that today determine its risk and make it ambiguous, unequal, unfair and objectionable in the eyes of many a business environments. The aim of this article is to analyze the risk associated with sharing economy. To fulfil this aim the author has discussed: the paradigm of consumption and the common good in the context of the economy of the future, the etymology of the term of sharing economy and identification of risk that is linked with this phenomenon. The studies were divided into two parts:  the first concerns theoretical risk analysis of the functioning of sharing economy based on subject literature; the second part is a practical analysis of the risk of the impact of sharing economy on the Polish labour market on the example of UBER application. The following research hypothesis was adopted in the paper: The risk of impact of sharing economy on the labour market in Poland is of little significance. The analysis allowed to identify the following risk types in the number of twenty, which are present today in sharing economy: Unequivocal and coherent concept, Data safety, Taxes, Law regulations, Quality, Service performance guarantee, Pursuing claims, Employees rights, Responsibility for clients, Grey market, Competitiveness, Relations: sharing - business, Licences and permissions, Employment relationship, Deflation, Consumer rights protection, Employment, Abuse, Mentality, Sales. A risk analysis of the effects of sharing economy on the Polish labour market showed that this phenomenon was of low significance in the analysed period.

<p>During thousands of years, ownership was an essential aspiration for humankind, but there are signs that this is changing. This research is studying the disruptive tech-driven businesses which change our attitude toward the ownership. The Horizon Scanning is to identify the weak signals which indicate the disruption in how and what people possess. Analysis of collected articles alluded to the growth of subscription/sharing economy, virtual economy, and tokenization, being recognized as the weak signals which shape the future of ownership. According to these signals, Futures Wheel sessions were conducted to explore the consequences of signals in real life. The final scenario developed in the form of a short story, and it coalesces the hypergrowth of the mentioned signals. </p>

Comprehensive Manner

This brief, conclusive essay outlines the challenges that lie ahead of sociology as a discipline in its approach towards the ‘sharing economy’ and its emergent practices. Using the research displayed in the monograph, we offer a set of reflections that should read as a call to arms for sociological research to embrace the ‘sharing turn’ in a comprehensive manner.
