Abstract

The collaborative economy is a phenomenon that has accompanied us over the years; society has evolved thanks to the collaboration between the individuals that make it up. Through a deep qualitative analysis of grounded theory, the researchers analyzed twenty-four models of collaborative economy detailed in the literature, to know which ones are already experienced in Peru and which ones are not. The results showed that formal activities related to collaborative economy are already in operation, such as car rental, bicycle usage, film usage, varied objects rentals, online commerce, exchanges, room rental, crowdfunding, skills sharing, and rides. On the other hand, it was found that in Peru there are no formal activities related to car usage, shared trips, toy rental, book rental, used electronic, books, clothes, toys, clothes, DVD and games sales, service exchange, community support, or meal sharing; which requires business studies to determine whether or not there is a demand for such services that are not offered, so that they can be implemented in the future.

Highlights

  • The twenty-four categories related to collaborative economies on the Internet, proposed by Botsman and Roger [4] were reviewed and analyzed in the Peruvian context, to know whether or not there are companies performing such activities at present, in case they do not exist, they were considered as market niches that will surely be covered in the future

Summary

Introduction

The term collaborative economy has changed over the years. If we were to ask an economic scholar 500 years ago in Peru, he or she would probably refer to the period of the Incas where communities or 'ayllus' practiced 'ayni', a form of exchange of work and collaborative effort that sought to engage one group of people (in families) to help another in different tasks (agriculture, construction, etc.) [7, 19]. The organizers did not know this, it became a pioneering example of collaborative economics. Many people do not know it as such, but when you tell them about the initiatives and concepts, they immediately connect with the issue and appreciate the advantages and benefits of a collaborative vision [14]
