Chapter 1 Changes in Regulatory Laws Over the Sharing Economy Business on the Example of Brazil: A Crucial Point for Its Feasibility

Luiz Guedes da Luz Neto

The shared economy gained importance in the early 21st century, gaining scale through the internet. With this, various business models were created, offering innovative products and services to people. Many of the businesses in the sharing economy, because of their innovative character, challenge state regulation, which still does not know how to fit them, because, as disruptive, these businesses no longer seem to fit into traditional legal categories. And this difficulty in the legal framework can create burdens on innovative companies that can negatively impact results, as well as maintaining these companies in the market in a competitive manner. The search for state regulation that can adequately frame new businesses born in the sharing economy is a major challenge for the state regulator, which must seek regulation that protects users without impeding the development of new business. The regulation of new businesses in the sharing economy is a great challenge in Brazil because this regulation create a lot of problems to the companies born in the sharing economy.

Chapter 2 The Role of the State in Optimizing Communication Between Generation Z and Migrants in the Human Resources Management

Anatolii Shyian, Liliia Nikiforova

The aim of this work is to develop methods of government migration policy in order to motivate migrants to joint economic activities, especially with generation Z. The goals of a developed state are to include migrants in social, political and economic institutions to increase the welfare of their citizens, as in the short-term, so in the long run. Migrants who are not suitable for the realization of the interests of indigenous peoples should be repatriated (deported). Migrants can run away from hostilities, they can run away from poverty. The game-theoretic model built in the article made it possible to identify the fundamental features of the process of harmonizing the interests of the state (government) and migrants. To implement the motivation of migrants, the article offers an example of consistent general trainings that migrants must successfully develop for successful joint activities with Generation Z.

Chapter 3 How Does National Culture Influence Microfinance Institutions?: Evidence Based on Investigating 45 Countries

Zsuzsanna Banász, Anikó Csepregi

Many studies deal with the determinants of countries’ culture or efficiency of microfinance institutions (MFIs). This chapter aims to fill the gap in the literature by analyzing the connection between national cultural features and indicators of countries’ MFIs. The summary of analyses made regarding MFIs is followed by the national cultural dimensions, and how knowledge strategy could serve poverty reduction. 45 countries represent the subject of the research. Their statistics are available for both MFIs and national culture. Rank correlation and investigation of TOP5 countries show that the MFIs are successful in countries characterized by high levels of power distance, collectivistic, long term oriented and restraint culture. Based on these results the chapter lists countries where MFIs could be successfully introduced based on their national cultural features and recommends certain knowledge strategies for effective operation. Finally, research directions as a continuation of this study are also presented.

Chapter 4 Factors Affecting Sustainable Higher Educational Partnerships

Chris Bamber, Enis Elezi

The globally competitive environment of higher education is exemplified by many UK Universities, private education institutes and Public Colleges entering into collaborative agreements with partner organisations.

Those entrepreneurial minded executives leading and governing HEIs have thus seen partnerships as, Strategies for Business Sustainability in a Collaborative Economy, giving them competitive advantage and enhancing their strategic intent. This chapter provides a critical and useful review of HEI Knowledge Management (KM) factors that enable successful stages of collaboration. Within this chapter, sustainability practices in Higher Education Partnerships are reviewed through examination of KM factors and discussions of a private HEI using case study examples from their sustainability journey.

Chapter 5 When Giants Meet: Collaborative Economy, Blockchain Technology, and Social Media

Myriam Ertz, Émilie Boily

The collaborative economy (CE) involves an intensification of direct or intermediated peer-to-peer trade, underpinned by robust digital infrastructures and processes, hence an increased use of new technologies and a redefinition of business activities. As an inherently connected economy, the CE is, therefore, prone to integrating the most recent technological advances including artificial intelligence, big data analysis, augmented reality, the smart grid, and blockchain technology. As an innovative payment and finance technology, the blockchain and cryptocurrencies could have potential implications for the CE. This chapter consists of a conceptual review analyzing how the CE connects with the blockchain technology. The chapter presents subsequently the organizational and managerial implications related to the use of blockchain technology in terms of governance, transaction costs, and user confidence. An illustrative case further examines the role of a prominent social media in the CE-blockchain nexus.

Chapter 6 Predictive Factors of Attitude Towards Online Disruptive Advertising

Juneman Abraham, Dean Septian, Tommy Prayoga, Yustinus Suhardi Ruman

By leveraging knowledge of subconsciousness seducing technique combined with building algorithms capable of analyzing internet users’ needs as well as providing relevant information, disruptive ads that appear abruptly (in terms of the timing, placement, and method of ending/closing the content) in web pages and mobile applications are accepted as a quality effective means of consumer persuasion. This present study proposed uncertainty avoidance, perceived usefulness, and openness personality trait as the predictors of attitude towards online disruptive advertising. Participants of this study were 137 Indonesian internet users (75 males, 62 females, Mage = 23.02 years old, SDage = 3.367 years). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that only perceived usefulness and openness personality trait are able to predict the attitude, i.e. in positive directions. The uncertainty-certainty paradoxes contained in disruptive advertising are discussed to understand the psychological dynamics involved in a facet of the attitude ambiguity.

Chapter 11 Developing Strategies in the Sharing Economy: Human Influence on Artificial Neural Networks

Ramona Leon

The sharing economy is challenging the traditional business models and strategies by encouraging collaboration, non-ownership, temporal access, and redistribution of goods and/or services. Within this framework, the current chapter aims to examine how managers influence, voluntarily or involuntarily, the reliability of a managerial early warning system, based on an artificial neural network. The analysis focuses on 7 Romanian sustainable knowledge-based organizations and brings forward that managers tend to influence the results provided by a managerial early warning system based on artificial neural network, voluntarily and involuntarily. On the one hand, they are the ones who consciously decide which departments and persons are involved in establishing the structure of the managerial early warning system. On the other hand, they unconsciously influence the structure of the managerial early warning system through the authority they exercise during the managerial debate.

Chapter 12 The Response of Trading Volume to Borsa Istanbul Sustainability Index Inclusions and Exclusions

Ibrahim Gok, Handan GoksenBorsa

Istanbul Sustainability Index (XUSRD) was launched on November 4, 2014. Initially, there were 15 firms in the index. This number grows to 56 as of December 2019. This study aims to investigate whether the firms’ inclusion in or exclusion from XUSRD affect their trading volume. Both the effects of the announcement days and the effective days of the index changes were considered, and six index events that occurred between Nov 2014 and Dec 2019 were studied. On the effective days and their subsequent days, there were no significant trading volume changes for both included and excluded firms. On the announcement days, the trading volume increased for the included firms and decreased for the excluded firms, though only the experience of the deleted firms was statistically significant. Therefore, there was an asymmetric response to additions and deletions. In addition, the index effect on the included and excluded firms was temporary, which supports the price pressure hypothesis.

Chapter 13 Creative Problem Solving in Online Innovation Contests: What Motivates Top Solvers to Participate in the New Collaborative Economy?

Rolf Baltzersen

Online innovation contests represent one of the most interesting new ways of utilizing creative skills in the new collaborative economy, but we still know very little about what motivates the problem solvers. Previous studies suggest that the economic reward is not the only motivational factor, but there are many other motives too. The aim of this research study is to identify the core motivational dimensions based on the experiences of top solvers in three different types of online innovation contests. The empirical findings are used to construct a motivational typology for creative problem solving that can guide future research.

Chapter 15 Predicting Employee Performance: An Intergenerational Approach

Ramona Leon, Ramona Tănăsescu, Carmen Tănăsescu

The research aims to perform an intergenerational analysis regarding the impact of counterproductive behavior and contextual performance on employees’ task performance. The analysis is performed on a convenience sample of 165 employees from three different generations who work in the banking system. The results show that: (i) 33.50% of task performance variance is determined by the variance of contextual individual performance, and counterproductive behavior; (ii) 13% of the variance of contextual individual performance can be explained by the variance in counterproductive behavior; (iii) 33.70% of the variance of contextual organizational performance can be explained by the variance of task performance and counterproductive behavior. Besides, significant differences appear regarding the influence of (i) the counterproductive behavior on the contextual performance (Generation X vs. Y); (ii) the contextual individual performance on task performance (Generation X vs. Z); and (iii) the counterproductive behavior on the contextual individual performance (Generation Y vs. Z).
