Abstract
Recent literature, as well as practice, highlights the growing importance assumed by new forms of access to consumption resources, such as renting, sharing, and swapping (Albinsson and Perera 2009, 2012; Bardhi and Eckhart 2012; Belk 2010). Free and upon payment systems grew and are integrating the consolidated buy and own approach: Zipcar, Airbnb, Couchsurfing, Bookcrossing. These forms differ from traditional market transactions in many respects (Humphreys and Giesler 2007). For example, consumers often access goods, services, and information without purchasing or possessing them. The development of the Internet made access based consumption systems viable and attractive.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
