This edited book examines the challenges and opportunities arising
from today's sharing economy from an operations management
perspective. Individual chapter authors present state-of-the-art
research that examines the general impact of sharing economy on
production and consumption; the intermediary role of a sharing
platform; crowdsourcing management; and context-based operational
problems. Sharing economy refers to a market model that enables and
facilitates the sharing of access to goods and services. For
example, Uber allows riders to share a car. Airbnb allows
homeowners to share their extra rooms with renters. Groupon
crowdsources demands, enabling customers to share the benefit of
discounted goods and services, whereas Kickstarter crowdsources
funds, enabling backers to fund a project jointly. Unlike the
classic supply chain settings in which a firm makes inventory and
supply decisions, in sharing economy, supply is crowdsourced and
can be modulated by a platform. The matching-supply-with-demand
process in a sharing economy requires novel perspectives and tools
to address challenges and identify opportunities. The book is
comprised of 20 chapters that are divided into four parts. The
first part explores the general impact of sharing economy on the
production, consumption, and society. The second part explores the
intermediary role of a sharing platform that matches crowdsourced
supply with demand. The third part investigates the crowdsourcing
management on a sharing platform, and the fourth part is dedicated
to context-based operational problems of popular sharing economy
applications. "While sharing economy is becoming omnipresence, the
operations management (OM) research community has begun to explore
and examine different business models in the transportation,
healthcare, financial, accommodation, and sourcing sectors. This
book presents a collection of the state-of-the-art research work
conducted by a group of world-leading OM researchers in this area.
Not only does this book cover a wide range of business models
arising from the sharing economy, but it also showcases different
modeling frameworks and research methods that cannot be missed.
Ultimately, this book is a tour de force - informative and
insightful!" Christopher S. Tang Distinguished Professor and Edward
Carter Chair in Business Administration UCLA Anderson School of
