This year’\;s con ference topic is „\;Change. The New Face of Entrepreneurship“\; and a special track is dedicated to Sharing Economy.\n\nChur\, Switzerland \, 7-9 September 2016\niecer-conference.org\n\nTrack Chair: Oliver Maurone r\, Bauhaus University Weimar\n\nDescription of the track\nIn his latest w ork „\;The zero marginal cost society“\; Jeremy Rifkin (2014) ci tes the information goods industry and the sharing economy as forerunners of a new economy. Sharing economy is understood as peer-to-peer-based acti vities of obtaining\, giving\, or sharing the access to goods and services \, coordinated through community-based online services (Hamari\, Sjöklint and Ukkonen 2015). Internet platforms such as YouTube and Flickr removed p ublishing and publicity costs nearly completely for content creators (Kapl an and Haenlein 2010)\; businesses such as Airbnb and Uber do the same for their industries. All these platforms base their business models on other people’\;s resources.\nThe role of the entrepreneur shifts more and m ore to coordinate production rather than to produce goods or services by t hemselves. In peer-to-peer markets –\; no matter if they show analogu e or digital characteristics –\; the distinction between production a nd consumption is mashed up. This goes along with modified consumer expect ations. Consumer value is attached to usage rather than to ownership ̵ 1\; following the service-dominant logic of marketing by Vargo and Lusch ( 2004). Therefore the innovation focus also shifts from the product to appl ication and service\, which may create new entrepreneurial opportunities. However\, motivational factors that affect consumers’\; attitudes and intentions towards sharing economy and peer-to-peer consumption are widely unexplored. Market actors need to understand customer expectations as well as the characteristics and competitive advantages of successful sharing ec onomy ventures in order to shape innovative applications\, services\, and platforms.\n\nThe concept of sharing has increasing influence on tradition al industries. In fact\, asset sharing is going to become part of daily bu siness practice. For instance\, Floow2 is a Dutch marketplace for equipmen t like trucks and earthdiggers\, which allows firms to list items they're not using\, and have other businesses rent them out. By this\, firms can u se their valuable assets effectively that goes far beyond the simple gener ation of some extra cash. Sharing practices show an impact on entire indus trial sectors given the fact that market leaders such as Caterpillar and K omatsu are both developing new marketplaces in which customers can rent ou t unused items. Other industries follow\, e.g. airlines and healthcare pro viders\, that have started sharing expensive equipment. A fundamental ques tion with practical and scientific relevance is how start-ups\, small firm s\, and large companies will be able to exploit the resulting entrepreneur ial opportunities and connect with the sharing economy in order to create maximum competitive advantage and maximum customer benefits.\n\nKey specif ic topics of the track\n\n Interactions and interdependencies between p eer-to-peer production\, sharing economy and entrepreneurial\n behaviou r\n Individuals\, groups\, companies and networks which are agents of i nnovation in the sharing economy\n Different types of business models w ith variable facets of sharing and peer-to-peer value creation\n Change s in consumer expectations –\; use and share instead of buy and own & #8211\; as driving forces of innovation\n Influence of shared consumpti on and peer-to-peer production on traditional businesses\n New ways of financing innovation and entrepreneurship\n\nWe encourage contributions th at adress one or more of the listed topics\, using qualitative analyses an d case studies\, empirical analyses (such as comparisons of sub sectors\, industries and countries) and developing theoretical frameworks (e.g. busi ness models of the sharing economy).\n\nFor this workshop format\, we part iculary welcome the submission of author(s) and working groups that are wi lling to discuss their work-in-progress (short papers).\n\nFor more inform ation visit our new homepage: iecer-conference.org\n\nImportant dates: \n\ n Submission of papers: 29 May 2016\n Notification of authors: 30 Ju ne 2016\n Conference: 7-9 September 2016 \n\n DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20160907T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20160909T000000 CREATED:20160416T150211Z LOCATION:Chur\, Switzerland DTSTAMP:20170407T120209Z URL:https://www.sharing-economy.at/kos/WNetz?art=Appointment.show&id=30 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Berlin LAST-MODIFIED:20260306T231828Z TZURL:https://www.tzurl.org/zoneinfo-outlook/Europe/Berlin X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Berlin BEGIN:DAYLIGHT TZNAME:CEST TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0200 DTSTART:19700329T020000 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYDAY=-1SU;BYMONTH=3 END:DAYLIGHT BEGIN:STANDARD TZNAME:CET TZOFFSETFROM:+0200 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 DTSTART:19701025T030000 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYDAY=-1SU;BYMONTH=10 END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
