Abstract

To date, the sharing economy in Germany has concentrated in the field of Consumer to Consumer (C2C). Now, however, sharing concepts are increasingly being offered and used in the manufacturing industries (Business to Business (B2B)) for capital goods. Due to the digital transformation on the one hand, and the widespread establishment of the sharing culture on the other, it is argued that new sharing concepts will diffuse in the manufacturing sector. This phenomenon is here described as "industrial collaborative economy". Since an expansion of this culture of sharing to the manufacturing sector would have very high social, economic and policy relevance, this paper describes the current state and diffusion of these concepts in manufacturing. Finally, a new typology is presented to describe this new phenomenon and for creating an own understanding of the Sharing Economy in manufacturing. Die sich in Deutschland etablierende Tauschkultur schlägt sich bislang als Sharing Economy vorrangig im "Consumer-to-Consumer-(C2C)"-Bereich nieder. Konzepte des Teilens und Tauschens finden mittlerweile aber auch Einzug in die Industrie auf "Business-to-Business"-Ebene (B2B) und beziehen sich auf Investitions- und Nutzungsgüter. Durch den digitalen Wandel einerseits und die sich etablierende Tauschkultur andererseits wird davon ausgegangen, dass sich auf Tausch basierende Konzepte, die in diesem Papier unter dem Begriff der "industriell-kollaborativen Wirtschaft" subsumiert werden, in Zukunft auch in der Industrie stärker verbreiten werden. Eine Ausweitung der Tauschkultur auf die industrielle Wirtschaft wäre von sehr hoher gesellschaftlicher sowie wirtschaftspolitischer Relevanz. Mittels einer entwickelten Typologie wird versucht, ein eigenes Verständnis für das Teilen und Tauschen von Industriegütern zu schaffen sowie eine industrielle Sichtweise in die Diskussion über die Sharing Economy einzubringen.
