Abstract
ABSTRACT The special issue on Sharing Economy Enabled Digital Platforms for Development focuses on an investigation of an emerging form of collaborative consumption, known as sharing economy. This special issue aims to address several issues regarding important and novel research questions, analytical approaches, and to understand how the sharing economy brings about economic, social, and environmental development. After articulating the motivations that led us to launch this special issue call, we first outline the sharing economy ecosystem and its impact on sustainable development. Secondly, we propose a framework on the sharing economy development to connect all aspects of sharing economy ecosystem. Finally, we summarize the eight papers in this collection. These eight papers mainly focus on the sharing economy issues in developing regions. The accepted papers investigate the factors influencing SEDPs for development, factors influencing individuals’ intention to engage in the sharing economy, and the related trust, privacy, and regulatory issues.
期刊介绍:
Information Technology for Development , with an established record for publishing quality research and influencing practice, is the first journal to have explicitly addressed global information technology issues and opportunities. It publishes social and technical research on the effects of Information Technology (IT) on economic, social and human development. The objective of the Journal is to provide a forum for policy-makers, practitioners, and academics to discuss strategies and best practices, tools and techniques for ascertaining the effects of IT infrastructures in government, civil societies and the private sector, and theories and frameworks that explain the effects of IT on development. The concept of development relates to social, economic and human outcomes from the implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools, technologies, and infrastructures. In addition to being a valuable publication in the field of information systems, Information Technology for Development is also cited in fields such as public administration, economics, and international development and business, and has a particularly large readership in international agencies connected to the Commonwealth Secretariat, United Nations, and World Bank.
