PhD defence: Sarah Netter

Despite the growing interest on the part of proponents and opponents - ranging from business, civil society, media, to policy-makers alike - there is still limited knowledge about the working mechanisms of the sharing economy. The overall aim of this thesis is therefore dedicated to qualitatively exploring this understudied phenomenon and to providing a more nuanced understanding of the micro- and macro-level tensions that characterize the sharing economy. This thesis consists of four research papers, each using different literature, methodology, and data sets. Empirically, the thesis draws upon cases from the fashion context.
