| Sharing Economy |
| |
The
sharing economy is growing at an exponential rate. Some estimates
suggest that it is the second largest economy in the world. Defined by a
peer-to-peer exchange of values such as facilities, money, goods
and information, it is also referred to with terms like “collaborative
economy”, “peer-to-peer marketplaces” or “platform economy”.
New
sharing economy firms like Airbnb and Uber are disrupting
traditional industries across the globe by entering into markets such as
transportation, travel and retail where incumbent operators are subject
to significant government regulation. Analysts forecast that the
collaborative economy will continue to grow but there remains
uncertainty around whether their operations fully comply with existing
laws. A new balance between innovation and regulation will probably
need to be struck before it can achieve its real potential. The IESE
Library has compiled some information sources to help you understand
what the sharing economy is and what sort of repercussions it could have
in the coming years.
