“…Reputational spill-over occurs when an event caused by the actions of one firm affects the reputation of others that are not involved with that event (Barnett & Hoffman, 2008;King Ozcan, P., Gurses, K., Möhlmann, M.: Category Kings and Commoners: Within and Across Cross-Category Spillovers in the Sharing Economy, in: Research in the Sociology of Organizations (forthcoming). Mohammad and Crane, 2015). It renders the traditional view of reputation as an expectation of future behaviour based on the result of prior behaviour incomplete since firms are attributed with similar behavioural expectations as others similar to them independent of their own actions.…”

“…Barnett & Hoffman, 2008;King & Lenox, 2000). Such a narrow conceptualization constrains our understanding by failing to take into account facets of spill-over that make it complex and variable in naturenamely, the severity of its effect across different firms, and the full scope of firms that are subject to spill-over, including firms in different industries (Mohammad and Crane, 2015).…”

This chapter focuses on the largely unexplored spill-overs between category kings and commoners within and across the different sectors in the sharing economy. In addition to being highly visible members of many industries, category kings have attracted attention from researchers in various streams. Prior work has articulated "anchor tenants" in emergent geographic clusters (Powell, Packalen, and Whittington, 2012), market-dominant "kingpins" within industry value chains (Jacobides and Tae, 2015), and "cognitive referent" firms in novel product markets (Santos and Eisenhardt, 2009). However, most studies have overlooked what goes on with the majority of the members in the same category, i.e. category commoners (McDonald and Eisenhardt, 2017), particularly how they might benefit / hurt from the existence and activities of category kings. Our chapter addresses these questions by examining spill-overs within the context of sharing economy categories. Sharing economy is an umbrella term, associated with a plethora of similar concepts referred to as the platform economy, collaborative consumption, the gig economy, crowd-based capitalism, and access-based consumption (Botsman and Rogers, 2010;
