The "Sharing" Economy v.2017

The document discusses the sharing economy, focusing on collaborative consumption and peer-to-peer exchange through online platforms. It highlights the growth of shared mobility services, motivations behind sharing, barriers to participation, and the economic, social, and technological drivers of this phenomenon. It also critiques the commercial aspects of sharing platforms, arguing that many operate more as profit-driven businesses than true sharing communities.

Hugo Guyader Peer-to-Peer / Consumer-to-Consumer • ICT enables people to get what they need from each other on- demand, rather than from centralized institutions traditionally selling goods and services. 
 The economy evolved from traditional market exchange between sellers and buyers, to network relationships of suppliers and users. (Rifkin 2000) • Private individuals can connect to online platforms and share their slack resources (e.g. time, skills, space, goods) through P2P services, allowing them to unlock value from their underutilized possessions and enabling other platform users to access goods only when needed.

Collaborative Economy Honeycomb
A Day in the Life of the Collaborative Economy
What do you think? ๏ Have you participated in collaborative consumption activities? ๏ Why so?
Hugo Guyader Why we share Crowd Companies 2014
Hugo Guyader People switch to sharing if a well-known brand saves them 25% from buying costs and adds convenience • PRICE: More than half of North Americans will consider switching from buying to sharing if it lets them save 25 percent. Established brands often compete with sharing startups on price when they launch a marketplace of used goods or enable a marketplace of lower cost service workers. • CONVENIENCE: the top driver of sharing transactions. A third of conventional purchasers will consider sharing if it offers a more convenient option. Companies can rent out durable goods, offer convenience-based services, or offering subscription models that deliver goods on a regular basis. • BRAND: Sharers gravitate to well-known brands, whether those are traditional companies or trend-setting startups. The best way for companies to build their brand in their collaborative economy is to enable a platform that brings customers closer to the innovation process, and enable makers, crowdfunders, and others to co-innovate with your brand. Owyang & Samuel 2015
Hugo Guyader Motivations and Drivers (an overview) Compare & Share 2015
Hugo Guyader Barriers (an overview) Compare & Share 2015
Hugo Guyader To sum up: • economic incentive • an urge to reduce the socio-
 environmental impact of consumption 
 and a belief in “the commons” • normative desires to satisfy altruistic needs and of community- belonging • shift from ownership to access • ICT developments = convenience
Hugo Guyader The “Neo-Sharer” or “NOwner” ‣ mobile and connected (the “dot-com” 
 generation) ‣ millennial ‣ mid-high income ‣ high level of education ‣ living in urban areas ‣ unique personality ‣ like to experiment new things ‣ innovative, playful and creative Sharing is more a choice than a necessity. “homo cooperans” not “homo economicus”
 they cooperate for their emancipation, autonomy, social justice, knowledge sharing and open production.
What do you think? ๏ What arguments would you use to promote collaborative consumption? ๏ Do platform consumers and producers have the same motivations?
• The more network users, 
 the more valuable it becomes, 
 the better services can be provided. Service Logic • Service organizations develop online platforms that enable their users to exchange P2P services.
Hugo Guyader What’s Mine is Yours TEDTalk 2010: The case for Collaborative Consumption. Consumers co-create value by sharing existing products that are only temporarily needed, rather than owning them. Consumers access to 
 more resources, 
 more convenience,
 and at lower costs. Rachel Botsman & Roo Rogers (2010)
Hugo Guyader ✓ a critical mass of users ✓ idling or excess capacity of unused goods ✓ belief in the common good ✓ social trust The P2P Foundation also identifies 2 main societal drivers: • community dynamics in conducting business and the combined effect of digital reproduction • the increasingly 'socialized' production of value. 4 principles of collaborative consumption
Hugo Guyader Collaborative Consumption Systems Botsman & Rogers 2010
Hugo Guyader The Economy
Hugo Guyader (Outdated) Academic Definition • Acts of collaborative consumption can be defined as “events in which one or more persons consume economic goods or services in the process of engaging in joint activities with one or more others”. • Collaborative consumption may or may not involve direct physical contact between collaborators: – ‘direct-contact collaboration’ = same place at the same time – ‘system-hookup collaboration’ = different places but at the same time – ‘segregated collaboration’ = different times and places Felson & Spaeth 1978
Hugo Guyader (Outdated) Academic Definition • The term “The Share Economy” dates back to 1984 • In his book, economist Martin Weitzman argues that full employment and social welfare could be achieved if workers were paid a ‘share’ of the firm revenues. • Companies would have an incentive to create jobs because more workers would be paid only in proportion to what they have brought in.
Hugo Guyader Some clarification Collaborative Economy: An economy built on decentralised networks and marketplaces that unlocks the value of underused assets by matching needs and haves, in ways that bypass traditional middlemen and disrupt centralised institutions. - collaborative consumption (Maximum assets utilisation through models of redistribution and shared access) = “Sharing Economy” - collaborative production (Design, production, and distribution of goods through collaborative networks) - collaborative finance (P2P banking and crowd-driven investment models that decentralise finance) - collaborative education (Open education and person-to-person learning models that democratise education)
Hugo Guyader Think-tank and global community (10.000 members) since 2011, developing a framework that explains and brings together different phenomena into one coherent vision: « build a society based on openness, 
 collaboration and sharing » Projects and activities include community building, producing knowledge and incubating projects, offering support to individuals, public institutions, and companies through professional services and education. OuiShare
Hugo Guyader Jägerskog 2015
What do you think? ๏ Can we put everything on a marketplace? ๏ What goods have the most sharing potential?
Hugo Guyader What can be shared?
Hugo Guyader What can be shared?
Hugo Guyader Heart and Wallet paradox ‘Hybrid economy’ with ideological tensions: 1. a logic of economic market-mediated exchange with aspects of profit-maximization, negative reciprocity, independence between parties who have self-interested motivations 2. a logic of non-market exchange with elements of solidarity, mutuality, generalized reciprocity, and communal norms establishing interdependence between participants
Hugo Guyader Is ‘sharing’ just a fancy word for ‘rental’? • While some of these organisations are public initiatives or small cooperatives, others develop platform business models capitalising on existing communities and enhancing their P2P matchmaking services in exchange of a transaction fixed fee or a commission. • VCs and business angels have invested about $30 billion in tech-startups with sharing schemes. Sharing Economy “unicorns”: ‣ Uber = $60+ billion ‣ Airbnb = $30+ billion • Rentals representing the greatest share of business models
Hugo Guyader Collaborative consumption is nothing new recirculation of goods
 - eBay increased utilisation of durable assets 
 - CouchSurfing exchange of services 
 - time banks sharing of productive assets 
 - farmers’ cooperatives
Hugo Guyader What’s Yours is Mine ✦ Unfulfilled promises of the Sharing Economy
 openness, democratisation, equality, communitarian values, personal exchanges/interactions, trust between strangers, micro-entrepreneurship, less materialism with access over ownership, sustainability, etc. ✦ In reality: - creates new forms of commerce and new marketplaces, - not 100% safe and trustworthy - centralised control or mutual surveillance system, - money for investors but not the workers - deregulated free-market in private lives, etc. ✦ Conflicting languages: Slee 2016 community, collective action, libertarian/progressive politics, grassroots activism, social change private/corporate financial/commercial gains VS
Hugo Guyader We-Washing, Share-Washing, 
 Collaborative Washing ➡ Online businesses claim to foster community sharing, whereas they are mostly benefiting from enabling rental services rather than social exchange. ➡ The “true sharing” movement raises awareness of this loss of communities and criticises the profits of Big Sharing unicorns.
Hugo Guyader William Alden
Hugo Guyader Authenticity of a sharing platform BlaBlaCar (FR) has been criticised of killing the original ridesharing ideology for changing its business model (2012: from free to fees) and “forcing” an online registration system. Direct contact between users (exchange of emails, phone numbers) became impossible and forbidden, and the price rose to take into consideration the driver’s car depreciation and the platform’s commission. The social aspect diminished (i.e. riders listen to music, sleep, claim reserved seats; direct communication is impossible before a reservation) and the economic aspect reversed (i.e. 12% commission, less flexibility with booking and pricing). Users perceive that digital security became a hassle, trust between members faded, the original communal spirit vanished and monetary benefits became the norm.
Hugo Guyader Sharing Belk (2007) definition of sharing: “voluntary lending, pooling and allocation of resources, and authorized use of public property, but not contractual renting, leasing, or unauthorized use of property by theft or trespass” => the Sharing Economy is not true sharing (Belk 2014): - presence of profit motives
 - absence of feelings of community
 - expectations of reciprocity True sharing is driven by altruistic motives, a sense of commonality, in-direct economic benefits, fame or reputation, utilitarianism, feeling of belonging to a community.
Hugo Guyader Sharing ✓ True sharing involve caring and love, it is inalienable, interpersonal and dependent, as well as communal as it creates trust and social bonds without contracts or legal requirements (Belk, 2010). ✓ Sharing out (vs. Sharing in) “involves giving to others outside the boundaries separating self and other, and is closer to gift giving and commodity exchange” (Belk 2010 p.725). ✓ “If we conceive of a continuum commodity exchange lies at one end and sharing at the other, with gift giving somewhere in the middle” (Belk, 2007, p.127). commodity exchange gift giving sharing Other relevant concepts: mutuality, generalized reciprocity, access-based consumption, commercial sharing systems, product-sharing service systems, non ownership services…
Hugo Guyader Disruption? ‣ The most common model is to take a commission on each transaction facilitated; something businesses have been doing for centuries. ‣ Technology has done many things, but to date it hasn't been able to completely do away with the middleman. ‣ Despite their power to disrupt incumbents, sharing economy businesses make use of the same traditional business models.
Hugo Guyader Smarter regulation for the Sharing Economy Sharing Economy = consumers granting each other temporary access to under-utilised physical assets (“idle capacity”), possibly for money. Franken et al. The Guardian 2015 1. more efficient use of physical assets 
 — not private individuals delivering each other a service (on-demand economy) 2. providing each other temporary access
 — no transfer of ownership 
 (2nd-hand economy) 3. consumer-to-consumer (C2C) platforms 
 — not renting or leasing a good from a B2C company (product-service economy)

Hugo Guyader False Promises? (1) Sharing economy sites are generally lower in cost than market alternatives. (2) Green? Presented as a way to reduce carbon footprints, less resource-intensive and reducing demand for new goods/ facilities. (3) The desire to increase social connections. (4) Commitment to social transformation: emphasis on the ideological values of sharing and collaboration. While the for-profit companies may be “acting badly,” these new technologies of peer-to-peer economic activity are potentially powerful tools for building a social movement centred on genuine practices of sharing and cooperation in the production and consumption of goods and services. But achieving that potential will require democratising the ownership and governance of the platforms. Schor 2014
Hugo Guyader Platform Cooperativism • Sharing platforms that facilitate P2P service exchange should adopt a cooperative business structure with a “multi-stakeholder model that could include providers, customers, founders, investors, geographic communities, and nature” Gorenflo 2015 • “produser-owned platforms = users are producers” Scholz 2016 • The rationale is that most P2P platforms rely on the supply side of the network for their revenue stream, so these users/providers should own and control the platforms.  Scholz (2014), Gansky (2014), Schneider (2014)
(Scholz 2017)
Hugo Guyader • Fairmondo (DE, UK) Cooperative online marketplace for ethical goods and services. Owned and run by its users: buyers, sellers, workers, investors. Anybody can join as a stakeholder. • Stocksy United (Canada) Co-operative owned by the photographers themselves, that is accepting and providing royalty-free stock photos. • Loconomics (USA) Worker-owned online marketplace that allow people to freelance. Instead of charging a commission (cf. Etsy), joining as an owner is open for all for a monthly ownership fee, which also allows the members to vote. • VTC Cab (France) Taxi drivers created their own platform to regain control over their business. It is owned and operated by an NGO, so it does not collect commissions but a membership fee. Platform Cooperativism

Hugo Guyader The European collaborative economy 1) High adoption level (Europe leads the Fab Lab scene) 2) Community-driven mindset (the commons) 3) Local governmental support 4) European Union support 5) Highly diverse (culture) 6) Less venture capital (more loan entrepreneurs) 7) Non-profit works (Skjutsgruppen) 8) Big brands are adapting (BMW DriveNow, DHL MyWays) Wichmann 2015
Hugo Guyader In Sweden • Public actors more involved, encouraging use of sharing ideas for public spaces; while local actors reacted to global players (Airbnb) by developing digital platforms of their own. • Challenges: specialised industries employing a large number of people are likely to be hit hard by increases in digitalisation and automation as well as by the Sharing Economy cutting out traditional middlemen. “one area of concern is the degree to which Sharing Economy firms avoid transaction costs and risks by pushing such costs and risks onto providers and consumers” Drivers: (1) Increasing penetration of the Internet and smartphones, 
 (2) Technological advancements (IT platforms and big data analytics), (3) Falling entry barriers, (4) Increased ease of financial transactions, (5) Increased transparency, (6) The financial crisis, (7) Declining consumption patterns. Entreprenörskapsforum 2015

What do you think? ๏ What are the particularities of the Swedish market?
Hugo Guyader My research: organized ridesharing Liftsharing (UK) or Carpooling (US) two-sided platforms e.g. Blablacar hitchhiking, slugging TNCs: Uber, Lyft, Sidecar ✦ Individual travellers share a vehicle for a trip and split travel costs with others that have similar itineraries and time schedules. (Furuhata et al. 2013)
Hugo Guyader Organized ridesharing Two-sided matching platforms facilitating ridesharing services by matching individual car drivers and passengers. Ridesharing can include small detours, but it does not concern for- profit taxis and chauffeured vehicles in which drivers make a special trip to carry a passenger and enable them to make profits (e.g. the passenger pays more than the trip gas costs). 
 - Transportation Network Companies provide such “ridesourcing service”. Blablacar: largest platform in Europe with 20 million members in 18 markets, arranging 2 million rides per month and estimates to enable drivers yearly total savings of $320 million.
 The average shared ride distance in Europe is 342 km.
 Blablacar claims to raise car occupancy from 1.7 to 2.8 passengers.
Hugo Guyader Organized ridesharing ✴ Main motivations and drivers for the sharing economy: 
 more convenience and efficiency (technology), economic benefits (affordability, cost-savings, monetisation of under-utilised assets; better value/quality), environmentally friendliness, strong community, access lifestyle, curiosity and fun. In Denmark, a recent ridesharing study reports the user perceptions of the service as positive thanks to cost savings, greater comfort, flexibility and speed, and socialization with vehicle occupants; 
 …but also negative because of a lack of ride availability and inconvenience in finding them, viewing ridesharing as unsafe or unsecure, and expectations of social awkwardness and exclusion (Nielsen et al., 2015). ➡ Economic and social attributes seem to be the strongest choice determinants for adopting a ridesharing service.
Hugo Guyader BlaBlaCar ‣ 
 covoiturage.fr (“carpooling” in French) ‣ 
 new “transactional booking model” based on an online registration system replacing the exchange of cash and reducing no-shows and cancellations business model:

ridesharing ·P2P car rentals ·leasing “Revolutionalizing the way people travel, and the overall infrastructure”
Hugo Guyader Imported ridesharing from Germany to Denmark, seeing an opportunity in the Danes’ concern for the environment and their discontent with public transportation (prices, delays, cancellations). Organic growth as a non-profit platform for 6 years. Enhanced the ridesharing platform with a new technology enabling online payment. Begun to charge the drivers a 9% commission on their ride. – launch of P2P car rentals: Users could now borrow privately owned vehicles from other users, or rent out their own car. An insurance-deal covers the rental period. 
 
 – launch of leasing: when the car idles, it can be rented out to GoMore members. By renting out their leased car 8 days/month, the Leasers can make up the leasing cost, so the car can be used for free the rest of the month. More than 300.000 users in Scandinavia (50.000 in Sweden). GoMore

    Hugo Guyader Peer-to-Peer / Consumer-to-Consumer • ICT enablespeople to get what they need from each other on- demand, rather than from centralized institutions traditionally selling goods and services. 
 The economy evolved from traditional market exchange between sellers and buyers, to network relationships of suppliers and users. (Rifkin 2000) • Private individuals can connect to online platforms and share their slack resources (e.g. time, skills, space, goods) through P2P services, allowing them to unlock value from their underutilized possessions and enabling other platform users to access goods only when needed.

    Hugo Guyader People switch to sharing if a well-known brand saves them 25% from buying costs and adds convenience • PRICE: Morethan half of North Americans will consider switching from buying to sharing if it lets them save 25 percent. Established brands often compete with sharing startups on price when they launch a marketplace of used goods or enable a marketplace of lower cost service workers. • CONVENIENCE: the top driver of sharing transactions. A third of conventional purchasers will consider sharing if it offers a more convenient option. Companies can rent out durable goods, offer convenience-based services, or offering subscription models that deliver goods on a regular basis. • BRAND: Sharers gravitate to well-known brands, whether those are traditional companies or trend-setting startups. The best way for companies to build their brand in their collaborative economy is to enable a platform that brings customers closer to the innovation process, and enable makers, crowdfunders, and others to co-innovate with your brand.

 generation) ‣ millennial ‣ mid-high income ‣ high level of education ‣ living in urban areas ‣ unique personality ‣ like to experiment new things ‣ innovative, playful and creative Sharing is more a choice than a necessity. “homo cooperans” not “homo economicus”

    Hugo Guyader ✓ a criticalmass of users ✓ idling or excess capacity of unused goods ✓ belief in the common good ✓ social trust The P2P Foundation also identifies 2 main societal drivers: • community dynamics in conducting business and the combined effect of digital reproduction • the increasingly 'socialized' production of value. 4 principles of collaborative consumption

    Hugo Guyader (Outdated) Academic Definition • Acts ofcollaborative consumption can be defined as “events in which one or more persons consume economic goods or services in the process of engaging in joint activities with one or more others”. • Collaborative consumption may or may not involve direct physical contact between collaborators: – ‘direct-contact collaboration’ = same place at the same time – ‘system-hookup collaboration’ = different places but at the same time – ‘segregated collaboration’ = different times and places Felson & Spaeth 1978
  • 30.
    Hugo Guyader (Outdated) Academic Definition • The term“The Share Economy” dates back to 1984 • In his book, economist Martin Weitzman argues that full employment and social welfare could be achieved if workers were paid a ‘share’ of the firm revenues. • Companies would have an incentive to create jobs because more workers would be paid only in proportion to what they have brought in.
  • 31.
    Hugo Guyader Some clarification Collaborative Economy: Aneconomy built on decentralised networks and marketplaces that unlocks the value of underused assets by matching needs and haves, in ways that bypass traditional middlemen and disrupt centralised institutions. - collaborative consumption (Maximum assets utilisation through models of redistribution and shared access) = “Sharing Economy” - collaborative production (Design, production, and distribution of goods through collaborative networks) - collaborative finance (P2P banking and crowd-driven investment models that decentralise finance) - collaborative education (Open education and person-to-person learning models that democratise education)

    Hugo Guyader Heart and Wallet paradox ‘Hybrid economy’ withideological tensions: 1. a logic of economic market-mediated exchange with aspects of profit-maximization, negative reciprocity, independence between parties who have self-interested motivations 2. a logic of non-market exchange with elements of solidarity, mutuality, generalized reciprocity, and communal norms establishing interdependence between participants

    Hugo Guyader Is ‘sharing’ just a fancy word for ‘rental’? • While someof these organisations are public initiatives or small cooperatives, others develop platform business models capitalising on existing communities and enhancing their P2P matchmaking services in exchange of a transaction fixed fee or a commission. • VCs and business angels have invested about $30 billion in tech-startups with sharing schemes. Sharing Economy “unicorns”: ‣ Uber = $60+ billion ‣ Airbnb = $30+ billion • Rentals representing the greatest share of business models

 Collaborative Washing ➡ Online businessesclaim to foster community sharing, whereas they are mostly benefiting from enabling rental services rather than social exchange. ➡ The “true sharing” movement raises awareness of this loss of communities and criticises the profits of Big Sharing unicorns.

    Hugo Guyader Authenticity of a sharing platform BlaBlaCar (FR) hasbeen criticised of killing the original ridesharing ideology for changing its business model (2012: from free to fees) and “forcing” an online registration system. Direct contact between users (exchange of emails, phone numbers) became impossible and forbidden, and the price rose to take into consideration the driver’s car depreciation and the platform’s commission. The social aspect diminished (i.e. riders listen to music, sleep, claim reserved seats; direct communication is impossible before a reservation) and the economic aspect reversed (i.e. 12% commission, less flexibility with booking and pricing). Users perceive that digital security became a hassle, trust between members faded, the original communal spirit vanished and monetary benefits became the norm.
  • 47.
    Hugo Guyader Sharing Belk (2007) definitionof sharing: “voluntary lending, pooling and allocation of resources, and authorized use of public property, but not contractual renting, leasing, or unauthorized use of property by theft or trespass” => the Sharing Economy is not true sharing (Belk 2014): - presence of profit motives
 - absence of feelings of community
 - expectations of reciprocity True sharing is driven by altruistic motives, a sense of commonality, in-direct economic benefits, fame or reputation, utilitarianism, feeling of belonging to a community.
  • 48.
    Hugo Guyader Sharing ✓ True sharinginvolve caring and love, it is inalienable, interpersonal and dependent, as well as communal as it creates trust and social bonds without contracts or legal requirements (Belk, 2010). ✓ Sharing out (vs. Sharing in) “involves giving to others outside the boundaries separating self and other, and is closer to gift giving and commodity exchange” (Belk 2010 p.725). ✓ “If we conceive of a continuum commodity exchange lies at one end and sharing at the other, with gift giving somewhere in the middle” (Belk, 2007, p.127). commodity exchange gift giving sharing Other relevant concepts: mutuality, generalized reciprocity, access-based consumption, commercial sharing systems, product-sharing service systems, non ownership services…

    Hugo Guyader Disruption? ‣ The mostcommon model is to take a commission on each transaction facilitated; something businesses have been doing for centuries. ‣ Technology has done many things, but to date it hasn't been able to completely do away with the middleman. ‣ Despite their power to disrupt incumbents, sharing economy businesses make use of the same traditional business models.

    Hugo Guyader Smarter regulation for the Sharing Economy Sharing Economy =consumers granting each other temporary access to under-utilised physical assets (“idle capacity”), possibly for money. Franken et al. The Guardian 2015 1. more efficient use of physical assets 
 — not private individuals delivering each other a service (on-demand economy) 2. providing each other temporary access
 — no transfer of ownership 
 (2nd-hand economy) 3. consumer-to-consumer (C2C) platforms 
 — not renting or leasing a good from a B2C company (product-service economy)

    Hugo Guyader False Promises? (1) Sharing economysites are generally lower in cost than market alternatives. (2) Green? Presented as a way to reduce carbon footprints, less resource-intensive and reducing demand for new goods/ facilities. (3) The desire to increase social connections. (4) Commitment to social transformation: emphasis on the ideological values of sharing and collaboration. While the for-profit companies may be “acting badly,” these new technologies of peer-to-peer economic activity are potentially powerful tools for building a social movement centred on genuine practices of sharing and cooperation in the production and consumption of goods and services. But achieving that potential will require democratising the ownership and governance of the platforms. Schor 2014
  • 56.
    Hugo Guyader Platform Cooperativism • Sharing platformsthat facilitate P2P service exchange should adopt a cooperative business structure with a “multi-stakeholder model that could include providers, customers, founders, investors, geographic communities, and nature” Gorenflo 2015 • “produser-owned platforms = users are producers” Scholz 2016 • The rationale is that most P2P platforms rely on the supply side of the network for their revenue stream, so these users/providers should own and control the platforms.  Scholz (2014), Gansky (2014), Schneider (2014)

Instead of charging a commission (cf. Etsy), joining as an owner is open for all for a monthly ownership fee, which also allows the members to vote. • VTC Cab (France) Taxi drivers created their own platform to regain control over their business.

    Hugo Guyader In Sweden • Public actorsmore involved, encouraging use of sharing ideas for public spaces; while local actors reacted to global players (Airbnb) by developing digital platforms of their own. • Challenges: specialised industries employing a large number of people are likely to be hit hard by increases in digitalisation and automation as well as by the Sharing Economy cutting out traditional middlemen. “one area of concern is the degree to which Sharing Economy firms avoid transaction costs and risks by pushing such costs and risks onto providers and consumers” Drivers: (1) Increasing penetration of the Internet and smartphones, 
 (2) Technological advancements (IT platforms and big data analytics), (3) Falling entry barriers, (4) Increased ease of financial transactions, (5) Increased transparency, (6) The financial crisis, (7) Declining consumption patterns. Entreprenörskapsforum 2015

    Hugo Guyader My research: organized ridesharing Liftsharing (UK) orCarpooling (US) two-sided platforms e.g. Blablacar hitchhiking, slugging TNCs: Uber, Lyft, Sidecar ✦ Individual travellers share a vehicle for a trip and split travel costs with others that have similar itineraries and time schedules. (Furuhata et al. 2013)
  • 66.
    Hugo Guyader Organized ridesharing Two-sided matching platformsfacilitating ridesharing services by matching individual car drivers and passengers. Ridesharing can include small detours, but it does not concern for- profit taxis and chauffeured vehicles in which drivers make a special trip to carry a passenger and enable them to make profits (e.g. the passenger pays more than the trip gas costs). 
 - Transportation Network Companies provide such “ridesourcing service”. Blablacar: largest platform in Europe with 20 million members in 18 markets, arranging 2 million rides per month and estimates to enable drivers yearly total savings of $320 million.

    Hugo Guyader Organized ridesharing ✴ Main motivationsand drivers for the sharing economy: 
 more convenience and efficiency (technology), economic benefits (affordability, cost-savings, monetisation of under-utilised assets; better value/quality), environmentally friendliness, strong community, access lifestyle, curiosity and fun. In Denmark, a recent ridesharing study reports the user perceptions of the service as positive thanks to cost savings, greater comfort, flexibility and speed, and socialization with vehicle occupants; 
 …but also negative because of a lack of ride availability and inconvenience in finding them, viewing ridesharing as unsafe or unsecure, and expectations of social awkwardness and exclusion (Nielsen et al., 2015). ➡ Economic and social attributes seem to be the strongest choice determinants for adopting a ridesharing service.
