    Master’s Thesis M.Sc. Economics and Business Administration International Business What Drives Incumbent Firms to Acquire Sharing Economy Platforms? A Multiple Case Study Authors: Thibaut Evers Submission date: 15th of May 2018 Student Number: 107121 Total Characters: 244,211 Ida Mari Gundersen Supervisor: Ioanna Constantinou Student Number: 102528 Department of Digitalization Abstract Platforms from the sharing economy have turned traditional patterns of ownership upside down. The trend has fundamentally challenged market mechanisms and disrupted industries. Incumbent firms relying on traditional business models, seem to no longer ignore these threats. Apart from simple competition through differentiation, also partnerships and acquisitions are increasingly becoming relevant for the incumbent firms. This thesis aims to answer: “What drives incumbent firms to acquire sharing economy platforms?” In particular: “What are the incumbent firms’ strategic aims and integration strategies?” Lastly, this thesis provides insights of how these acquisitions affect the environment of the sharing economy. The Håkanson model (1995), as well as the business model by Johnson et al. (2008) lay the foundation of the analysis to answer the research questions. Herein, six cases that include an incumbent firm as acquirer and a sharing economy platform as acquisition target are studied in-depth. The aggregation and pattern matching analysis revealed three categories of incumbent firms. Based on their positioning in the value chain these categories include: The Manufacturer, The Distributor and The Maverick. These three categories of incumbents are distinguishable in their strategic aim and integration of distinctive product and service offerings from the sharing economy. The Manufacturer is motivated to move downstream in its value chain by capitalizing on customers that are access over ownership oriented.

  • The Sharing Economy As an Equalizing Economy
    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NDL\94-1\NDL107.txt unknown Seq: 1 19-NOV-18 13:05 THE SHARING ECONOMY AS AN EQUALIZING ECONOMY John O. McGinnis* Economic equality is often said to be the key problem of our time. But information technol- ogy dematerializes the world in ways that are helpful to the ninety-nine percent, because informa- tion can be shared. This Article looks at how one fruit of the information revolution—the sharing economy—has important equalizing features on both its supply and demand sides. First, on the supply side, the intermediaries in the sharing economy, like Airbnb and Uber, allow owners of housing and cars to monetize their most important capital assets. The gig aspect of this economy creates spot markets in jobs that have flexible hours and monetizes people’s passions, such as cooking meals in their home. Such benefits make these jobs even more valuable than the earnings that show up imperfectly in income statistics. The law and economics analysis of Her- nando de Soto has shown how creating property rights and more formal markets can help those of modest means in the developing world. The sharing economy performs a similar function for people of modest means in the developed world. Second, on the demand side, the sharing economy also creates gains for consumers that largely go to the ninety-nine percent. Airbnb finds them cheaper accommodations in places that may have been unaffordable. But the advantages go beyond price. Summoning a ridesharing car almost anywhere with the press of a smartphone is a much closer approximation of having a chauffeur—a hallmark of wealth—than hailing a taxi.

  • Sharing Economy Jako Ważny Trend W Obszarze Zrównoważonej Konsumpcji
    82 HANDEL WEWNĘTRZNY 2016;5(364):82-91 Barbara Jaros Instytut Ekologii Terenów Uprzemysłowionych – Katowice Sharing economy jako ważny trend w obszarze zrównoważonej konsumpcji Streszczenie Celem rozważań jest przybliżenie problematyki wspólnej konsumpcji jako mo- delu konsumpcji, który w dużej mierze przeciwstawia się tradycyjnemu modelowi konsumpcji opartemu na własności. Istotę sharing economy stanowi współpraca, bezpośrednia lub przy użyciu Internetu. Sharing economy obejmuje takie zacho- wania, jak: dzielenie się, wymiana towarów, pożyczanie, wynajmowanie, ponowne używanie, wolontariat, naprawianie, wspólne kupowanie. Obecnie trudno jedno- znacznie określić, w jakim stopniu sharing economy jest przejawem zrównowa- żonej konsumpcji. Na pewno umożliwia w pewnym zakresie odmaterializowanie sektora konsumpcji i w większym stopniu promowanie usług, jednak wciąż brakuje badań, które pozwoliłyby odpowiedzieć, jaki jest ostateczny wpływ tego typu prak- tyk na środowisko. Należy jednocześnie podkreślić, że sharing economy korzystnie wpływa na podtrzymanie nowoczesnych relacji społecznych oraz kształtowanie wzajemnego zaufania.
