SHARING ECONOMY IN THE 21 CENTURY
The aim of this study is to analyse sharing economy and its influence on business partnerships and the development of sustainable consumption of products and services. Sharing economy refers to a cross business and people collaboration aiming to solve economic, social and environmental problems by giving consumers access to products and services for free or in lower prices. A qualitative study will be conducted using interviews with collaborating companies and their customers. It is assumed that sharing economy can contribute to new innovative business models and consumption patterns and benefit the society. As future research, I suggest comparative studies between collaborated companies in different contexts.
Key words: Sharing production and consumption, collaboration, democracy, solidarity.
