“…Some authors (Murillo et al. ) and consumer organizations (BEUC ) suggest that users only rely on a pretense of trust. If the myth of peer‐to‐peer trust were to be undermined, the development of crowd logistics could be seriously affected.…”

Patterned on crowdsourcing and crowdfunding, a new crowd practice has emerged in recent years: crowd logistics. In this paper, we propose a first conceptualization of this growing phenomenon. Crowd logistics is a novel way of providing logistics services that taps into the dormant logistics resources and capabilities of individuals, using mobile applications and web‐based platforms. Although crowd logistics has been widely discussed in the business world, it has not yet been the subject of any academic publication. Following an exploratory case study approach, we review the websites of 57 crowd logistics initiatives around the world and highlight the main distinctive characteristics of crowd logistics, as compared to traditional business logistics. We introduce a segmented analysis in which crowd logistics solutions are classified according to four types of service offered. Finally, we introduce six theoretical propositions on the future development of crowd logistics. At a theoretical level, our findings contribute to enriching the service‐dominant logic perspective in the logistics field by conceptualizing the crowd as a co‐creator of logistics value. At a managerial level, our findings contribute to identifying which types of crowd logistics services are more likely to threaten or disrupt traditional business.

“…Productivity is also highlighted by Wallsten (2015) [73], and implicitly specified by Bond (2015) [44], while more efficient exploitation of physical assets is considered by Welsum (2016) [109]. Goudin (2016) and Murillo et al (2017) share the opinion that in the SE, using online platforms "reduce[s] the scale for viable hiring transactions or viable participation in consumer hiring markets", and hence, the extent of under-utilization of assets decrease [124,125]. In addition, Stephany (2015) states that making the underutilized assets accessible to others leads to a reduction in the need for owning those assets by the community [77].…”

Conceptualizing the Sharing Economy through Presenting a Comprehensive Framework

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.

“…The re-orientation from P2P towards B2C, P2B and B2B models has enabled sharing economy firms to overcome a number of geographical and regulatory obstacles that companies with greater physical presence would otherwise encounter. From a critical perspective, this is perhaps one of the greatest challenges associated with the rapid emergence of the sharing economy (van Doorn 2017;Stafford 2016;Murillo et al 2017;Lemmon et al 2016;Moore and Robinson 2016). Importantly, there is considerable ambiguity around property rights, as the technological drivers of sharing economy firms allow to transcend national boundaries quite easily (Sundararajan 2016;Guerrini 2017), and firms themselves are largely decoupled from assets, from a legal perspective.…”

The rise of the sharing economy has had transformative impacts on extant service delivery models, with wide ranging implications for existing firms, regulators, and the workforce at large. This paper draws upon firm-level data to better understand how new forms of service delivery have accompanied the diffusion of the sharing economy. Unlike previous waves of technological innovation, sharing economy firms have emerged as digital intermediaries rather than direct service providers driven by shifting consumer practices and attitudes. We apply an innovation diffusion model to trace the development trajectory of the sharing economy across 1000 firms. Our model segments the evolution of the sharing economy into three distinct and overlapping phases, comprising an Embryonic Stage (
