Читать книгу Sharing Economy and Big Data Analytics - Soraya Sedkaoui - Страница 35

The sharing economy, a trend that can change everything in its path, seemingly unnoticed. Based on horizontal management, it encourages sharing and stimulates community relations in business transactions.

It is increasingly not only attracting an informed population concerned about the impact of economic activity on the environment and social well-being, but also a young population that is “connected” to new IT trends. The propensity of this generation to share is not a fluke nor a coincidence.

In short, today’s companies, operating in a sharing economy, are making their way to glory and sustainability.

TO REMEMBER.– The sharing economy is really an economic model and disrupts the capitalist model. The latter has created a crisis that has gone global at the same pace as the globalization of the economy. This crisis is multidimensional: economic, financial, social and ecological. What the sharing economy brings to sustainable development are global and integrated solutions.
