Description
Summary:博士 === 淡江大學 === 管理科學學系博士班 === 106 === Despites of the issue of sharing economy is popular and argued in near years, few systematic classification framework for sharing economy have been found till now, this study therefore constructs a more logic and systematic conceptual classification schema for the broad sharing economy — SBE (Sharing-based Economy) is named in this study—from the perspectives of supply-chain and strategy. This study, first, develops the construct for SBE based on three dimensions (or attributes) — supply/demand driven (who), sharing objects (what), and sharing purpose (why) — and then constructs a more inclusive and exclusive classification schema according to the pluralism and Rich’s (1992) classification methodology. Because the classification schema developed in this study belongs to polythetic typology, this study adopts both qualitative approach and the quasi-quantitative MTMM as the conceptual tool to verify the reliability and construct validity of the schema. Adding to the final classification schema is constructed, a sequential classification flowchart is also been provided. To increase the value of the schema, finally, this research developed some strategic implications and research propositions for practical and academic guidelines. In concrete, the important research results as below: 1.The construct of SBE consists of three critical attributes — supply/demand driven (who), sharing objects (what), and sharing purpose (why) — is developed. 2.The tree-type classification schema may be regarded as the paradigm of sharing economy and achieve the purpose of generalization. 3.A sequential decision flowchart of classification submitted. 4.For further practical application and academic development, four strategic insights and five propositions presented.
