Application of Theories of Firm to Sharing Economy Platforms Based on Uber Example
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
Artykuł przestawia aplikację teorii istnienia przedsiębiorstw dla podmiotów ekonomii współdzielenia na przykładzie firmy Uber. Celem tego artykułu jest sprawdzenie, czy obecne teorie istnienia przedsiębiorstw, takie jak: teoria kosztów transakcyjnych, teoria zasobowa, teoria akumulacji wiedzy, teoria behawioralna, teoria agencji czy też koncepcja firmy jako artefaktu kulturowego, mogą być użyte w celu wyjaśnienia istnienia platform społecznych. Artykuł opiera się na przeglądzie literatury. Wyniki badania potwierdzają, że wymienione wyżej teorie mogą być zastosowane do wyjaśnienia istnienia firmy Uber. Wyjątkiem jest teoria agencji, która nie znajduje zastosowania w opisywanym przykładzie. Jako obszar przyszłych badań, autor proponuje kwestię relacji między platformami współdzielenia a podmiotami oferującymi usługi za pośrednictwem tych platform. (abstrakt oryginalny)
