Abstract

Guided by a “logic of the situation” approach our research investigated a problematic situation in community to identify and critically reflect on how consumer marketplaces and self‐sufficiency meet consumption needs. In doing so, we reflect on how a situational understanding allowed the researchers to form a more complete view of how consumption needs were met in community through enabler‐led marketplaces, community‐led marketplaces and self‐sufficiency. We also re‐conceptualized our thinking as a more broadly conceived hybrid consumer marketplace to reflect our more complete understanding. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of our more broadly conceived hybrid consumer marketplace and provide a foundation for further research into consumer marketplaces and meeting consumption needs.
