Knowledge Risks in the Sharing Economy

Abstract

This chapter presents a theoretical analysis of potential risks connected with knowledge that organizations operating in the sharing economy might potentially face. Nowadays, it can be stated that an increasing amount of individuals and organizations participate in sharing and exchanging data, information, and knowledge, as well as physical goods and services (Botsman & Rogers, 2011). The development of the sharing economy has been stimulated to some extent by the growing availability of ICT solutions. Concurrently, the lack of time combined with finite resources has encouraged individuals and organizations to share their goods and services with each other, which in turn have put forth a number of new businesses and business models. Sharing, however, does not only lead to benefits, but to risks as well. Against this background, the aim of the chapter is to present and discuss various knowledge risks an organization might face, resulting from the specific characteristics of the sharing economy.
