The aim of this article is to uncover sustainable consumption through the assumptions behind the sharing economy. The more the profile of the modern consumer has changed, the bigger changes of his or her perception of ownership. The consumer trend that we can observe as growing is about meeting the needs and being satisfied with product/service usage, but without making a transaction about ownership transfer. The proliferation of companies, such as Zipcar, Uber, Airbnb, proves that consumers withdraw from traditional options and experiment with the ones that rely on the potential of social media. With the focus on social media, the attitude toward temporary usage of products, perception of mutual agreements and understanding of loyalty comes into play and transforms the relationships between consumers and producers/service providers. The idea that one does not need to own a product in order to satisfy one's need creates room for more sustainable consumption that is guided by resource sharing. Sustainability may be achieved here by the fact that people limit their actual purchases, do not have to worry about divestment options, are more selective when comparing various options, find cheaper solutions also attractive from the environmental or the social stand (they may value a solution more just because it reduces negative impact on environment or because it additionally offers socializing opportunities). The article is based on desk research with the use of a brief case study approach. Two industries seem to be prone to the sharing economy model: automotive/transportation and hospitality services, that is why the article draws brief practical illustrations from those sectors(original abstract)
Celem niniejszego artykułu jest pokazanie jak mechanizmy gospodarki wspólnego użytkowania sprzyjają konsumpcji zrównoważonej. Wraz ze zmieniającym się profilem współczesnego konsumenta, zmianie ulega jego percepcja własności. Na rynku pojawiają się rozwiązania pozwalające zaspokajać potrzeby bez konieczności dokonywania transakcji o przeniesieniu własności. Dynamiczny rozwój firm, takich jak Zipcar, Uber, Airbnb, dowodzi, że konsumenci odstępują od tradycyjnych opcji własności i eksperymentują z tymi, które polegają na współużytkowaniu i wykorzystują potencjał mediów społecznościowych. To wszystko tworzy przestrzeń dla bardziej zrównoważonej konsumpcji(abstrakt oryginalny)
