In this era, there is a heap of technological trends, which are changing the traditional way of doing business. One such trend stirring disruption because of its scope and commendable efficiency is "Sharing economy", built around the notion of sharing of human and physical assets. Multi billionaire companies such as Uber and Airbnb are leading the path for other firms showing the potential and significance "sharing economy" contains.

For instance, a company short of employees, sharing its optional, extra office space with a company who in-turn is lending them their same skill-set talents for a time being is a time and cost effective solution for subjugating the deficit and void created by the shortages of these resources. Furthermore, collaborative consumption also facilitates trust formation within companies, better solutions to counter common challenges, and further expedite cultivation of talents. Sharing of facilities could stand for a short period but there resides a large opportunity to maximize economies of scale.

Driving Force behind the Sharing Economy

The driving force that is exploiting the dynamics of sharing economy is the ascent of social media, intuitive consumer apps and transcendence of information technology, in addition with population growth, and increasing global crises (financial, environmental and social). Presence of such ubiquitous technology has drastically changed the previous generation of non tech-savvy employees and companies infrastructure. Employees today are using their own mobile devices such as Smartphone and tablets to increase their work efficiency. This trend is implanting the seeds of consumerization of the enterprise, which will only boost the proliferation of the sharing economy.
