“…The slogan "proud to share" used by Car2go [7] suggests that rental-per-minute services under a free-floating scheme are also presented by companies as an act of sharing between consumers. Moreover, some scientific researches have also considered this company under the label of SE [3,105]. Finally, BlablaCar is considered as another case study due to the nature of its main activities and its concentration on the ridesharing and therefore, sharing of transportation costs between the passengers [106], rather than car-sharing.…”

Abstract:In recent years, through the advances in technology and highlighting the sustainability concepts in different aspects of human lives, the sharing economy has become an interesting topic for researchers, and also, many businesses claim to be active in this environment. However, a comprehensive definition, which is generally accepted, does not yet exist in the literature. In this paper, through a systematic literature review, analysis, and coding, a comprehensive definition, and also, an inclusive framework is presented for the sharing economy. This can help scientists and businesses to clarify which companies or parts of their activities fall into the SE category, and which do not. Such clarification in a small scale is done for five companies at the end of the paper.

“…As a result, this is uninteresting for end users as this is only a way for current third parties to remain in the market by strengthening their position, getting rid of their own third parties (e. g. clearing houses), and simplify inter companies transactions [33]. In other words, it is the implementation of a new type of secure databases with no implication whatsoever for the digital economy -and thus no consequences when it comes to this research [16]. However, with the creation of the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance [25] on February 27th 2017, it seems that world leading companies have opted for the Ethereum blockchain [25].…”

“…Moreover, decentralisation and anonymity prevents any discrimination regarding the transaction. This latter is only fact based; e. g. same influence from a 12 year old than from a JPMorgan executive [16]. Finally, because the blockchain is decentralised, fully accessible and constantly verified, accountability and transparency are ensured.…”

The Internet provided the world with interconnection. However, it did not provide it with trust. Trust is lacking everywhere in our society and is the reason for the existence of powerful intermediaries aggregating power. Trust is what prevents the digital world to take over. This has consequences for organisations: they are inefficient because time, energy, money and passion are wasted on verifying everything happens as decided. Managers play the role of intermediaries in such case: they connect experts with each others and instruct them of what to do. As a result, in our expert society, people’s engagement is low because no one is there to inspire and empower them. In other words, our society faces an unprecedented lack of leadership. Provided all those shortcomings, the study imagines the potential repercussions, especially in the context of management, of implementing a blockchain infrastructure in any type of organisation. Indeed, the blockchain technology seems to be able to remedy to those issues, for this distributed and immutable ledger provides security, decentralisation and transparency. In the context of a blockchain economy, the findings show that value creation will be rearranged, with experts directly collaborating with each others, and hierarchy being eliminated. This could, in turn, render managers obsolete, as a blockchain infrastructure will automate most of the tasks. As a result, only a strong, action-oriented, leadership would maintain the organisation together. This leadership-in-action would consist in igniting people to take action; coach members of the organisations so that their contribution makes sense in the greater context of life.

“…in coordination and logistics) might have been more complex. Another example for the impact of reduced transaction costs is the emergence of C2C transactions and of the entire sharing economy (Puschmann and Alt 2016). Electronic auction sites, such as Ebay, facilitated transactions among consumers (C2C) that would involve too high transaction costs in traditional channels (e.g.…”
