- Sharing Economy transactions involve a platform provider that matches two actors, a customer aiming to get access to a resource and a (peer) provider giving access to his/her resources. For many the Sharing Economy is mainly associated with the accommodation sector (e.g. Airbnb) and the individual transportation sector (e.g. Uber or Lyft). Both companies have only been founded a bit more than 10 years ago and are now global players that have disrupted their sectors. Beyond these few global players of the sharing economy, there are thousands of hidden gems of the sharing economy waiting to disrupt many more sectors, logistics, banking, education. The obvious questions are of course: Which sectors will be the next to be disrupted. And which companies are the Uber and Airbnbs of the future? Sabine's TEDx talk will investigate which sectors are likely the next to be disrupted and why. Born and educated in Germany, Sabine Benoit is now a Professor of Marketing at the University of Surrey, UK and Australian National University, (ANU), Australia. She is a highly regarded and cited pioneer in the field of the sharing economy. She started researching consumer behaviour in the sharing economy before Airbnb and Uber were founded and later disrupted various sectors. In this TEDx talk she shares her expertise, gives us an idea of which sectors might be the next to be disrupted, what is currently wrong with the sharing economy and what we need to do going forward so that it can contribute to saving the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
I appreciate her plea to support the sharing economy's original purpose of utilizing idle resources. I wish there was a way for people to hold platforms accountable for their impact on communities and resources.
Sabine's point about professional service providers in the sharing economy is spot on. We need to ensure that these platforms don't lose sight of their original goal: utilizing idle resources. Thanks for highlighting this issue!
Airbnb is fantastic - you get to meet the locals around the world and apart from a little hiccup in Auckland it's been wonderful.
Wow, Sabine really knows her stuff about the sharing economy! It's impressive how quickly platforms like Airbnb and Uber grew. I agree with their point about the asset-free nature of these companies allowing them to expand rapidly. Exciting times ahead!
A university education has always been for those with deep pockets. I would applaud any innovation that could challenge this.
It's interesting to think about how quickly ideas can come into fruition, boom, and then regress. Sometimes things are perfect for the moment but then we outgrow it.
Despite what's happened to some of these services I'm excited to see where the future of the sharing economy takes us!
Never really thought about the sharing economy beyond Airbnb and Uber. It's fascinating to see the potential in other sectors!
Everything about Sabine's talk resonated with me. Sharing unused resources makes so much sense, particularly if you can earn money doing it.
I love the idea of the sharing economy being a force for good. Let's support platforms that prioritize sustainability and community empowerment.
I love how Sabine highlights the positive impact of the sharing economy on reducing waste and promoting sustainability. It's great to see platforms like Too Good To Go tackling food waste. I'm all for supporting these hidden gems of the sharing economy!
It's crucial to ensure that the sharing economy doesn't exploit workers or negatively impact communities. Let's be conscious consumers and demand responsible practices from these platforms. Together, we can make a difference.
What a wonderful concept. Uber and Airbnb are matchmakers between owners and renters. Brilliantly simple and effective
The speaker's vision of the future with platforms like App Council and Crowd Met is fascinating. Imagine having legal and medical advice at your fingertips without having to spend a fortune! Technology really is changing the way we live.
This is a really interesting talk!
Wow I had no idea about any of this stuff. Thanks for such an informative talk Sabine!
I went to book an airbnb this morning actually and was so surprised by how expensive it was! Just over $500 for two nights when a hotel was half that price. I get that there are benefits and why it feels nicer than a hotel but I do remember when they were the better choice financially as well.
I completely agree with the points she makes near the end about people who don't actually use idle resources in the sharing economy.
Impeccable talk! What a match of Feli and Sharing economy !
Thank you, I got a chance to be your student !
I appreciate the speaker's call to action to save the world through responsible participation in the sharing economy. It's essential to support platforms that align with our values and prioritize the well-being of workers and communities. Together, we can make a positive impact.
After listening to this, I'm re-evaluating my own choices as a consumer. Everyone really does have a part to ensure the sharing economy remains a force for good.
The rapid growth is ASTONISHING. Keep an eye on new disruptors!
Very insightful! Great talk!
I'm intrigued by the potential of the sharing economy to reduce waste, but the downside is clear in places like Airbnb's impact on housing availability.
Really good talk Sabine, This is a real TED talk...
Totally in awe of people who have the ideas and the follow through to bring their dreams alive.
Wow it's actually pretty cool to hear about how the sharing economy has evolved over the years!
Sabine, your predictions about the sharing economy disrupting education and banking are intriguing. It makes me wonder how these industries will adapt to changing times.
Sabine raises an important concern about professional service providers in the sharing economy. While the idea of utilizing idle resources is great, there should be limits to prevent abuse and negative consequences. We need to find a balance between innovation and protecting the rights of workers.
Interesting insights into how quickly sharing economy platforms have evolved!
I agree with the speaker's point about the need for better customer service. Traditional industries should learn from the sharing economy platforms in terms of transparency and user ratings. It's time for them to step up their game and provide a more customer-centric experience.
I'm impressed by the speaker's knowledge of the sharing economy's history and potential future. It's interesting to think about the disruption that could occur in various sectors. Who knows what new platforms will emerge? The possibilities are endless!
I'm not convinced that the sharing economy will disrupt every sector. Sabine mentions education and banking, but I think there are certain areas where human expertise and face-to-face interaction are crucial. Some things just can't be replaced by algorithms and peer-to-peer transactions.
What she said about utilizing idle resources really struck me, because yeah, that is what they are meant to do but now there are people literally buying up properties for the purpose of having them as Airbnb's
How can we strike a balance between innovation and responsible use of resources? The point about the impact of professional service providers is essential. It raises questions about fairness and sustainability.
I beg to differ, but there are lots of smaller apps that are more directed at communities. Like apps offering your neighbours your help with whatever you can, there's also clothes swapping suitcases that make their rounds... I think it is time to accept that disruption as a whole will be forced on everyone soon and we will have no choice but to band together and contribute to move forward.
I appreciate the emphasis on not supporting professional peer service providers... it's essential for the sharing economy to stay true to its roots and not lead to adverse consequences like rising housing costs. Though I dare say in some parts of the world it's already too late for that.
I think the sharing economy is going to continue to grow and be embraced by more people once they realize how it can make life easier.
the negative consequences of professional service providers in the sharing economy is thought-provoking. We need to ensure that these platforms don't exploit workers or create imbalances in our communities. Let's advocate for fair treatment and responsible practices.
Count me in for all idle resource sharing ideas. As time goes by this will be adopted and adapted.
Let's ensure the sharing economy doesn't drive up housing costs and disrupt our communities.
There were so many positives to the sharing economy it's a little sad that some industries are turning into the antithesis of what they were meant to do.
I'm a bit skeptical about Sabines predictions for the future of banking. While peer-to-peer transactions have their benefits, I still value the security and reliability of traditional banks. It's important to have a balance between innovation and maintaining a solid financial system.
I think the sharing economy has definitely brought some great innovation but I can't help but feel bad for the more traditional industries like hotels and taxis.
The growth of platforms like Airbnb and Uber is impressive, but I worry about the impact on local communities and traditional businesses. How can we strike a balance?
There are still a lot of idle resources and I would love to see them being utilized through a lens of sustainability instead of profit
I'm all for disrupting sectors, but let's not forget quality. How do we ensure these new platforms provide reliable and safe services?
Keeping professional service providers in check is vital, but how can we ensure that without stifling innovation?
The sharing economy could revolutionize education, but what about accreditation? Universities provide recognized degrees. How can peer-to-peer programs match up?
I see the potential, but what about privacy concerns? Sharing our resources with strangers can be risky
thanks for sending to me, cool discussion
the idea of all these 'sharing' services is well and good in theory but it feels like every promising new service of this sort that comes around quickly becomes exploitative and overpriced
what is the name of the storing app?
i have the same question
I have a friend who owns multiple rental properties that he has as airbnb's and we literally call him the sIum lord because it's people like that just ruining the rental market in my city
Sharing idle recourses is an effective way of reducing our carbon footprint. Does your street need 20 lawn mowers?
I hope she's right that the consumer of tomorrow won't support exploitative business practices!
I think so. younger generations have access to knowledge which makes it harder to take advantage of them
I'm not so sure about this whole sharing economy thing. It sounds good in theory, but what about safety and security? The speaker talks about their daughter not having "stranger danger," but I think it's important to be cautious. I wouldn't trust just anyone with my belongings or personal information.
I don't buy into all this sharing economy hype. It seems like just another way for companies to make money off our assets without actually owning anything. Sure, it might be convenient, but what's in it for the average person? I'm skeptical about the long-term benefits.
Job milega
I hate taking ubers, I just feel we are making the ultra rich richer, and poor slobs like me poorer
The future is now my friend, embrace it and learn to own your own part of it!
I'm not a fan of the sharing economy taking over everything. It feels like a way for big companies to control even more aspects of our lives. I'd rather support local businesses and individuals than rely on faceless platforms that prioritize profit over community.
