This research proposal will investigate one of the most influential and rapidly growing market segments, over the last few years, called “Collaborative Economy” (also known as “Sharing Economy” or CE for short). This segment constitutes one of the strongest engines for economic growth among our next generation of the world economy.
There are several versions for the Hebrew translation of the phrase “Collaborative Economy”, yet we are talking about a relatively new segment in Israel compared to the rest of the western society. Without realizing it, more and more aspects of our lives are becoming co-dependent on different fields based on “Collaborative Economy”.
As part of this work, in the first chapter, I will examine what is "Collaborative Economy". firstly, I will highlight the main characteristics that differentiate the segment of CE from all other traditional economy modules, and present why it develops at a fast-growing pace into our lives and in fact, taking control over them completely. Secondly, I will compare the advantages and disadvantages of the CE method and the existing traditional economic modules. At this state of things, I will examine the advantages in two aspects: the economic approach and the utilitarian form. This will let us a chance to understand whether countries all over the world should encourage the "Sharing Economy" module or restrain it.
