“…In such cases, users employ mechanisms programmed to facilitate market order for unintended purposes. Market organizers must therefore engage in a general process of constant adaption to integrate other user activities (Dolata, 2015;Grenz & Eisewicht, 2015), prevent undesired activities (e.g., deviance, fraud, disorder), and incorporate desired ones (e.g., new process accommodating specific user demands or preferences). Other deviant activities, such as the fake reviews that plague other platforms, including Amazon, TripAdvisor, and Yelp (Orlikowski & Scott, 2014;Luca & Zervas, 2015), seem to be less often associated with Lyft or Airbnb, because the technical infrastructure of the platform ties the reviews directly to transactions .…”

“…Market participants face high uncertainty, for example, because it is difficult to build mutual trust as a basis for co-operation, because competition is fierce, and because demand can fluctuate substantially (Brinkmann & Seifert, 2001;Diekmann & Przepiorka, 2017;Belk, 2014;Dolata, 2015;Hartl, Hofmann & Kirchler, 2016;Kirchner & Beyer, 2016).…”

“…Hoffnungen, wonach digitale und algorithmenbasierte Technologien auf der Basis signifikant verbesserter Methoden der Erkenntnisgewinnung (Mayer-Schönberger/Cukier 2017) die Grundlage eines umfänglicheren Verständnisses der Welt garantieren und entsprechend zu besseren Entscheidungen führen, sind nicht nur in privatwirtschaftlichen Sektoren verbreitet, sondern zunehmend auch in wohlfahrtsstaatsnahen Bereichen wie dem Gesundheitssystem. Obwohl die Euphorie um die Digitalisierung und ihre vermeintlichen transformativen, demokratisierenden Wirkungen in den letzten Jahren zusehends abgenommen hat (Dolata 2015;Wu 2011), erfahren digitale Technologien nun auch im Gesundheitswesen eine zunehmende Aufmerksamkeit. Dies kann unter anderem darauf zurückgeführt werden, dass die entwickelten Industrienationen Lösungen für den Umgang mit alternden Gesellschaften und weiterhin zunehmenden chronischen Krankheiten wie z.B.…”

“…Currently, Google more or less holds a monopoly as a search-engine provider. But the fact that this position was held until rather recently by Yahoo demonstrates that the monopolies of digital companies are-or at least were in the past-highly "volatile monopolies" (Dolata 2015). Until not so long ago, creative thinkers could capitalize on the low marginal costs of digital products without being dependent on one of the Internet giants.…”

“…By far the largest online retailer, Amazons' worldwide sales recently surpassed those of its next competitors taken together (Dolata 2015). Well known for sacrificing profits in favour of business expansion for most of the company's history, Amazon has recently shown big profits thanks to the expansion of its lucrative cloud computing business.…”
