Getting the Deal Through provides international expert analysis in key areas of law, practice and regulation for corporate counsel, cross- border legal practitioners, and company directors and officers. Throughout this edition, and following the unique Getting the Deal Through format, the same key questions are answered by leading practitioners in each of the jurisdictions featured. Our coverage this year includes new chapters on China, Greece, India, Nigeria and Turkey and an article, written by the editor, on the overlap between the US Department of Justice's assessment of corporate compliance programmes and the International Organization for Standardization's guidance for compliance management systems. Getting the Deal Through titles are published annually in print. Please ensure you are referring to the latest edition or to the online version at www.gettingthedealthrough.com. Every effort has been made to cover all matters of concern to readers. However, specific legal advice should always be sought from experienced local advisers. Getting the Deal Through gratefully acknowledges the efforts of all the contributors to this volume, who were chosen for their recognised expertise. We also extend special thanks to the contributing editor, Daniel Lucien Bühr of Lalive, for his continued assistance with this volume.

  • Conceptualizing the Sharing Economy Through Presenting a Comprehensive Framework
    sustainability Article Conceptualizing the Sharing Economy through Presenting a Comprehensive Framework Meisam Ranjbari * ID , Gustavo Morales-Alonso and Ruth Carrasco-Gallego ID Department of Organization Engineering, Business Administration and Statistics, Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, 28006 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] (G.M.-A.); [email protected] (R.C.-G.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 22 May 2018; Accepted: 2 July 2018; Published: 5 July 2018 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. Keywords: sharing economy (SE); sustainability; idle capacity; collaborative consumption; under-utilized assets; online platform; access versus ownership 1. Introduction Sharing economy (SE) as a conceptual term has been in the media for a number of years [1,2]. Many factors, such as the growth of internet applications and smartphones, globalization and urbanization, the global economic crisis, shifts in the general attitudes, and higher attention towards sustainability in consumption, have led to the advent of the sharing economy in recent years [3–6].
