About The Collaborative Economy
The collaborative economy encompasses a broad range of businesses and business models. We define it as 'an economic system that unlocks the value of underused assets through platforms that match ‘haves’ with ‘wants’ in ways that enable greater efficiency and access.’
Who's behind this?
The Library was developed and curated by collaborative economy experts Rachel Botsman, Pieter van de Glind and Mia de Villa. It was made possible with the generous support of Oxford University Said Business School Pedagogical Fund and Nesta UK.
