Findings in Sustainability Research Reported from University of New England (Towards a Comprehensive Analytical Framework and Future Research Agenda for Research On Sharing Economy Business Models: Thematic Analyses Approach).

New research from the University of New England in Armidale, Australia explores the concept of the sharing economy and its potential for economic growth and sustainability. The study presents a comprehensive analytical framework for understanding sharing economy business models, identifying three main segments: knowledge of sharing economy, supplier-oriented studies, and consumer-socioeconomic-sustainability-focused research. The research also highlights six key research directions for the post-COVID-19 era, including determinants and ecosystems, emerging economies, location- and culture-specific models, sustainability, and combined impacts on socioeconomics. This peer-reviewed study provides valuable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers interested in the sharing economy. [Extracted from the article]
