“…Disruption challenges incumbents and presents opportunities for new and established entrepreneurs. Moreover, the sharing economy highlights that sustainability is a major opportunity or challenge for entrepreneurs and incumbents (Curtis and Lehner, 2019; Govindan et al , 2020; Hamari et al , 2016; Liu and Chen, 2020; Pies et al , 2020; Ponce et al , 2018; Pouri and Hilty, 2018). Policy-makers recognize that the sharing economy can create with regard to startup formation, wealth creation, and job generation.…”

PurposeQuantitative bibliometric approaches were used to statistically and objectively explore patterns in the sharing economy literature.Design/methodology/approachJournal (co-)citation analysis, author (co-)citation analysis, institution citation and co-operation analysis, keyword co-occurrence analysis, document (co-)citation analysis and burst detection analysis were conducted based on a bibliometric data set relating to sharing economy publications.FindingsSharing economy research is multi- and interdisciplinary. Journals focused upon products liability, organizing framework, profile characteristics, diverse economies, consumption system and everyday life themes. Authors focused upon profile characteristics, sharing economy organization, social connections, first principle and diverse economy themes. No institution dominated the research field. Keyword co-occurrence analysis identified organizing framework, tourism industry, consumer behavior, food waste, generous exchange and quality cue as research themes. Document co-citation analysis found research themes relating to the tourism industry, exploring public acceptability, agri-food system, commercial orientation, products liability and social connection. Most cited authors, institutions and documents are reported.Research limitations/implicationsThe study did not exclusively focus on publications in top-tier journals. Future studies could run analyses relating to top-tier journals alone, and then run analyses relating to less renowned journals alone. To address the potential fuzzy results concern, reviews could focus on business and/or management research alone. Longitudinal reviews conducted over several points in time are warranted. Future reviews could combine qualitative and quantitative approaches.Originality/valueWe contribute by analyzing information relating to the population of all sharing economy articles. In addition, we contribute by employing several quantitative bibliometric approaches that enable the identification of trends relating to the themes and patterns in the growing literature.

“…The importance of company product testing rather than solely relying on testing as part of official regulatory controls is highlighted in this incident. Theory would suggest that public–private partnerships drive innovation in food governance structures [ 5 ], as well as greater agility and flexibility in governance activities when compared to purely regulatory governance approaches [ 6 ]. The key challenge is to integrate the efforts of public and private actors in the food supply chain in such a way as to achieve synergy and added value in terms of local and global food safety governance.…”

“…Hybridization is driven through innovation in food governance structures [ 5 ], i.e., public–private partnerships can deliver innovative, agile, and flexible practices and governance activities when compared to purely regulatory governance approaches [ 6 ]. In a hybrid public–private partnership approach to food safety governance, private market approaches can be integrated with public regulatory controls.…”

Food Safety Governance and Guardianship: The Role of the Private Sector in Addressing the EU Ethylene Oxide Incident

Sesame seeds within the European Union (EU) are classified as foods not of animal origin. Two food safety issues associated with sesame seeds have emerged in recent years, i.e., Salmonella contamination and the presence of ethylene oxide. Fumigation with ethylene oxide to reduce Salmonella in seeds and spices is not approved in the EU, so its presence in sesame seeds from India was a sentinel incident sparking multiple trans-European product recalls between 2020–2021. Following an interpretivist approach, this study utilises academic and grey sources including data from the EU Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) database to inform a critical appraisal of current EU foods not of animal origin legislation and associated governance structures and surveillance programs. This is of particular importance as consumers are encouraged towards plant-based diets. This study shows the importance of collaborative governance utilizing data from company testing and audits as well as official regulatory controls to define the depth and breadth of a given incident in Europe. The development of reflexive governance supported by the newest technology (e.g., blockchain) might be of value in public–private models of food safety governance. This study contributes to the literature on the adoption of risk-based food safety regulation and the associated hybrid public–private models of food safety governance where both regulators and private organizations play a vital role in assuring public health.

“…Beyond mere profit maximization, offering sharing-based products or services can also be seen as a societal engagement. In particular, sharing addresses sustainability concerns (Curtis and Lehner 2019 ; Govindan et al 2020 ; Hamari et al 2016 ; Liu and Chen 2020 ; Pies et al 2020 ; Ponce et al 2018 ; Pouri and Hilty 2018 ).…”

“…Despite the current research intensity regarding the sharing economy, we still lack an in-depth understanding of business models in the sharing economy (Belk 2014 ; Cohen and Kietzmann 2014 ; Hartl et al 2016 ; Pies et al 2020 ) and, in particular, of the mechanisms of value creation and value capture configurations. Therefore, our research goal is to identify sharing-specific antecedents of value creation and value capture.…”

The sharing economy gains momentum and develops a major economic impact on traditional markets and firms. However, only rudimentary theoretical and empirical insights exist on how sharing networks, i.e., focal firms, shared goods providers and customers, create and capture value in their sharing-based business models. We conduct a qualitative study to find key differences in sharing-based business models that are decisive for their value configurations. Our results show that (1) customization versus standardization of shared goods and (2) the centralization versus particularization of property rights over the shared goods are two important dimensions to distinguish value configurations. A second, quantitative study confirms the visibility and relevance of these dimensions to customers. We discuss strategic options for focal firms to design value configurations regarding the two dimensions to optimize value creation and value capture in sharing networks. Firms can use this two-dimensional search grid to explore untapped opportunities in the sharing economy.
