“…The direct connection between theme "information" and themes "use", processes", and "people" implies that "data" are generated through the "use" of "information systems" (and technologies) by "people" ("users") to support and streamline different business "processes". The implication of the use of "information systems" and "technologies" is "digital"-ization of "processes", which leads to optimization, more precisely to shorter "time" and increased "quality" of business operations ("processes"), reduced "waste" of "resources" and overall "cost" reduction (e.g., [34,35]).…”

“…Even though themes "information" and "products" are not directly connected, the connections between them through the themes "people" and "process" imply (a) "information" as a "resource" generated and used by "people" consuming "products" and related "services" on digital "platforms" [34,35] and (b) "information" as a "resource" that helps successfully incorporate "information systems" and "technologies" into enterprise "processes" with an aim to deliver innovative "products" and "services" via online experiences ("platforms") [35,67].…”

Information Technology for Business Sustainability: A Literature Review with Automated Content Analysis

2021

An extremely dynamic and fast-moving environment is pushing enterprises to continuous innovation and change. Managing sustainability in a digitalized environment seems to be of central importance for policy makers, as information technologies (IT), in combination with sustainability objectives, offer a wide range of opportunities for positive change. Through a systematic literature review and the application of automated content analysis, this study aims to provide insights into the latest research in the interdisciplinary field of sustainable business models and information systems. The results of the analysis, combined with a researcher’s perspective, suggest that IT, which can be used to achieve sustainability objectives, are already in place and have an infinite number of potential implications in the future. The results suggest that positive economic, social, and environmental changes can be achieved by using IT as long as they are used to identify unsustainable actions and enable positive change. The analysis of research trends revealed a discrepancy between the research in the European Union and the rest of the world and pointed to several avenues for future research.

“…Unintended offline consumption behaviour is a primary reason for rebound effects that reverse some of the initially prevented emissions. For instance, shared products in collaborative consumption networks show greater wear and tear owing to more careless consumption behaviour, which shortens products' average lifetime and thwarts sustainability efforts (Hildebrandt, Hanelt, & Firk, 2018; Hollingsworth et al, 2019).…”

One of today's grand societal challenges is to replace the current 'take-make-waste' economic model with a circular economic model that allows a gradual decoupling of economic activities from the consumption of finite virgin resources. While circular economy (CE) scholars have long lauded digital technologies such as sensors, distributed ledgers, or platforms as key enablers, our own community has not fully explored the potentials of information systems (IS) for a CE. Considering recent technological advances in software and hardware and our history of helping address wicked challenges, we believe the time is ripe to mobilise IS scholarship for a CE. Our findings from an interdisciplinary literature review show that research has primarily examined IS potentials for increasing efficiency of isolated intra-organisational processes while neglecting the larger sustainability potential of IS to establish circular material flows-that is, slow down and close material loops across entire product lifecycles. In response, we propose directions for IS research that develop our knowledge of how IS can help understand and enact circular material flows to intensify and extend use of products and components and recycle waste materials. Our directions offer pathways to building and evaluating the problem-solution pairing that could characterise a prolific CE-IS relationship.

“…erefore, in a sharing transaction, a moral hazard problem requires some extra cost [30,31]. For example, when other conditions are the same, an owner will assess a higher transaction cost when sharing an expensive high-quality product than sharing a cheap low-quality product.…”

This paper develops an analytical framework to study a manufacturer’s optimal business strategy involving the interaction of product sharing and product rollover in the sharing economy. Our analysis reveals that, regardless of whether the production cost is high or low, the manufacturer will participate in product sharing as long as the new product’s rental cost is not very high. Furthermore, under the manufacturer’s participation in product sharing, the manufacturer will sell two generations of products when the production cost is low. When the production cost is moderate, the manufacturer will adopt single rollover. Finally, the manufacturer’s participation in product sharing will increase the old/new product’s price and the manufacturer’s total profits but will decrease the old/new product’s demand in the sales market. Meanwhile, the manufacturer’s product sharing will decrease the price and demand of idle products from owners in the sharing market.
