“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…

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…

Kustannuslaskenta ja avoin hinnoittelu lisäarvoa tuottavana palveluna molemmin puolin monopolistisessa partnerisuhteessa
2017
Tässä tutkimuksessa toteutetaan, mitataan, tarkastellaan ja arvioidaan toimintolaskentaa ja kustannuksiin perustuvaa kokonaan nimikekohtaisesti avointa hinnoittelupolitiikkaa lisäarvoa tuovana palveluna pitkäaikaisissa liiketoimintasuhteissa. Tutkimuksen pohjaksi rakennetaan laaja-alaisesti sovellettavaa teoriaa niin toimintolaskennasta, liikeaika-analyyseistä, verkostoteoriasta kuin peliteoriastakin. Case-tutkimuksen käytännön osuudessa analysoidaan, mitä haasteita on toimintolaskennan toteutuksessa ja sen pohjalle perustuvan hinnoittelumallin luonnissa ja sopimisessa, millaisia pitkän ja lyhyen aikavälin haasteita ja intressiristiriitoja malleihin helposti sisältyy sekä esitetään, miten j…
