This edited volume grew out of our shared interest in one of the most disruptive, and paradoxically, oldest ideas currently shaping businesses across the globe: collaborative consumption. Collaborative consumption, or the sharing economy as it is also known, refers to businesses that are based on sharing resources and services, as opposed to traditional ownership-based models. Driven by widespread connectivity, new technology bricks such as blockchain and 3D printing, and more informed consumers, this new paradigm is causing a wave of disruption across industries, and is leading to empowerment of citizens and communities in ways that were unimaginable just a short time ago.

Abstract
This edited volume grew out of our shared interest in one of the most disruptive, and paradoxically, oldest ideas currently shaping businesses across the globe: collaborative consumption. Collaborative consumption, or the sharing economy as it is also known, refers to businesses that are based on sharing resources and services, as opposed to traditional ownership-based models. Driven by widespread connectivity, new technology bricks such as blockchain and 3D printing, and more informed consumers, this new paradigm is causing a wave of disruption across industries, and is leading to empowerment of citizens and communities in ways that were unimaginable just a short time ago.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
