Abstract

Shareconomy is a budding field of science and deals with the new movement of sharing goods with others instead of buying them. The three dimensions of shareconomy are sharing of digital content; sharing of physical goods; and the participation in commercial, cultural, and social projects. So far, the connection between the up-and-coming field of shareconomy and entrepreneurship has not been scientifically proven. This paper aims to remedy this research gap. Its content is based on a comprehensive literature analysis of scientific publications on the topic of shareconomy from the period 2000 to 2014 and delivers a new definition, concrete application examples, and recommendations for future implementation by entrepreneurs. Shareconomy is a future science field with the potential to change the behaviour of consumption, and therefore requires extensive further research.
