Jakamistalouden palveluiden luokittelu ja liiketoimintamallit
2017
Jakamistalouden palveluiden suosio on noussut huimaa vauhtia jo usean vuoden ajan ympäri maailmaa yhdessä yhteiskuluttajuuden muiden muotojen kanssa. Yhteiskuluttajuus vähentää resurssien kulutuksesta ympäristölle syntyvää kuormaa ja se on viime vuosien kehityksen ansiosta kyennyt kilpailemaan perinteisten, vaihdantaa käyttävien palveluiden kanssa myös hinnan ja käytännöllisyyden tasolla. Kysynnän lisääntyminen on tuonut markkinoille myös palveluita, jotka lupaavat samaa arvoasetelmaa kuin jakamiseen pohjautuvat palvelut, vaikka todellisuudessa niiden ympäristöä säästävä vaikutus saattaa jäädä pieneksi. Tästä syystä jakamistalouden palveluiden luokittelu ja tunnistaminen ovat entistä tärkeä…
With great power comes great responsibilities – Examining platform-based mechanisms and institutional trust in rideshare services
2023
From the perspective of female passengers, much remains unknown about institutional or platform trust and the sharing economy. The present study was conducted in an emerging economy context to comprehend the significance of institutional trust. The study aimed to develop a dynamic theoretical model incorporating the perceived effectiveness of platform-based institutional structures (PEPIS) as a dependent variable in sharing economy platforms, examine the antecedents of PEPIS and determine how PEPIS affects female passengers' trust in the institution or platform. Different strata of female passengers were targeted using a quota-cum-purposive sampling method. In total, 413 useable responses t…
“Your ride has arrived” – Exploring the nexus between subjective well-being, socio-cultural beliefs, COVID-19, and the sharing economy
2021
This study aimed to identify and explain different facets of the sharing economy and to differentiate between micro- and macro-mobility services. We also aimed to examine the correlation between the sharing economy and subjective well-being, cultural beliefs, and COVID-19. An exploratory research technique with face-to-face semi-structured interviews was used to collect data from a sample of 22 rideshare app users in a developing country between January and May 2020 and in July 2020. The data were analyzed using the NVivo 12 application. The major findings suggest that, considering their scope and use, sharing economy technology and services can be divided into four major domains: (1) hospi…
What drives customer satisfaction and well-being in ridesharing? : A developing country perspective
2019
This study examines ridesharing services from the customer perspective in a developing country context and investigates two significant post-adoption and marketing consequences: satisfaction and well-being. Using a purposeful sampling technique, six semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted in Sindh province, Pakistan. Among the major findings are that customers’ awareness of the services and how to use the mobile application, convenience of use, high perceived value, the quality of information available in the ridesharing mobile app, real-time location services, and an effective complaint resolution mechanism promote customer satisfaction and well-being. This study includes implic…
Economic moralities in self-organised alternative economies : the Finnish cases of ridesharing and timebanking
2020
PurposeThis paper explores economic moralities in self-organised alternative economies and argues that the diverse economies approach is particularly useful in elaborating the self-understandings of such economic communities. The analysis focuses on two types of alternative economies in Finland: ridesharing and timebanking.Design/methodology/approachThrough qualitative data, the paper looks into moments of negotiation where economic moralities of self-organised alternative economies are explicitly debated. The main research data consists of social media conversations, supplemented by a member survey for the participants of the studied timebank. The data are analysed through theory-guided qu…
Consolidated challenge to social demand for resilient platforms : Lessons from Uber's global expansion
2017
Many in the industry see the ride-sharing company Uber as the significant advancement through information and communication technology (ICT) particularly of the digital service platform and sharing economy. Uber has been exploring the new frontier of the ICT-driven disruptive business model (IDBM) and succeeded in its global expansion to over 479 cities in more than 75 countries worldwide in June of 2016. Such rapid expansion provides constructive insights regarding the significance of IDBM, not only in transportation but also in almost all other business fields. While at the same time Uber's legal battles in some cities around the world raise a serious question regarding the rationale of I…
Business continuity of business models : Evaluating the resilience of business models for contingencies
2019
Company business models are vulnerable to various contingencies in the business environment that may unexpectedly render their business logic ineffective. In particular, technological advancements, such as the Internet of things, big data, sharing economy and crowdsourcing, have enabled new forms of business models that can effectively and abruptly make traditional business models obsolete. By disrupting or even diminishing companies’ revenue streams, environmental contingencies may present a significant threat to business continuity (BC). Evaluating the resilience of business models against these contingencies should therefore be a core area of BC. However, existing BC approaches tend to f…

Auton yhteiskäytön ja omistamisen hyödyt jakamistaloudessa
2017
Kuluttajien tavoille ja tottumuksille saada tuotteita käyttöönsä on tullut useita vaihtoehtoja perinteisen tuotteiden omistamisen rinnalle, kun jakamistalous periaatteineen on alkanut levittäytyä useille eri liiketoiminnan alueille majoituksesta liikkumiseen. Omistamisen sijaan kuluttajat voivat halutessaan käyttää jakamiseen, vuokraamiseen ja yhteiskäyttöön pohjautuvia palveluita, joiden kautta on mahdollista saada tuote väliaikaisesti kuluttajan omaan käyttöön ilman sen omistamista. Usein omistaminen on yhä selkeästi suositumpi vaihtoehto enemmistölle kuluttajista, mutta jakamistalouteen perustuvien palveluiden käytön suosio on kasvamaan päin. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää mi…
When is money not a currency? Developments from Finland of proto-community currencies
2020
The article is a case study of several digitally based schemes recently operating in Finland where some functions and properties of money are evident. While working effectively as designed, they do not fully meet the criteria of a well-functioning community currency. The schemes include: sysmä, a digitally based hyperlocal system of account introduced by the rural Sysmä municipality; Pisteet kotiin®, a housing association points system in the city of Tampere, copied from a working Dutch model; BookMooch, a global book-swapping site that has extended its operations throughout Finland. Explored in the article are the institutional enabling and inhibitory factors and implications for and from …
