<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">By organizing peer-to-peer exchanges and promoting access over
ownership, the sharing economy, hereafter SE, is transforming a great variety
of sectors. Enjoying fast growth, SE is an umbrella term encompassing
heterogeneous initiatives, that create different types of economic,
environmental and/or social value (Acquier et <i>al</i>. 2017). According to PwC, the SE was estimated at $15 billion in
revenue worldwide in 2015, with the potential to reach $335 billion by 2025
(PWC, 2015), and to disrupt several established industries (Belk 2014). Bank of America Merril
Lynch, using a wide definition of the SE including all technological platforms,
predicts SE to jump from<span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">
$250 billion to $1930 billion, globally; with a growth of $785 billion in the
US, $645 billion in Europe and $500 billion in China. In 2015, the Chinese SE was
reported as being worth </span>$229 billion and is predicted to grow by 40% annually to
reach 10% of domestic GDP by 2020.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Ten years after it was born, the SE field remains
difficult to delimitate but its central idea is the optimization of under-used assets (physical assets such as cars,
apartments, money or intangible assets such as skills and knowledge) by sharing
them through digital platforms (Benkler, 2004). From this initial idea, the SE
emerged as a popular term for referring to different initiatives that either
connect individuals through platforms to carry out sales, rentals, swaps, or donations
(Frenken and Schor 2017), or set up more centralized “product-service systems”
to provide access instead of use, thus intensifying the use of idle assets
(Botsman & Rogers, 2010). Sharing practices have existed for ages, at the
individual or community level and in the domestic sphere. Over the last decade,
these formerly domestic and local practices outside the market logic have been
“dramatically scaled by the capitalist engine of technology-powered markets” to
give rise to ‘stranger-sharing’ in global markets (Sundararajan, 2016, p. 6).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The nascent literature on SEs has developed along three main research
streams: 1) Theoretical and definitional issues aiming at establishing borders
to the SE field, with stricter vs broader definitions, excluding or including
for example BtoC or For-Profit forms of exchanges (see Acquier et al. 2017); 2)
Estimations of the economic potential of the SE and its disruptive effect on
established industries (Sundararajan 2016); 3) Analysis of the societal and
environmental impacts of the SE (Frenken and Schor 2017), resulting in very
conflicting positions, that vary from praising the societal innovation enabled to
blaming its predatory nature and negative effects for workers (Acquier and
Carbone 2018).</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Literature combining logistics/SCM perspectives
with SE challenges is relatively scarce. The intermediary role of logistics for
SE platforms is mainly explored from the point of view of optimization and
algorithm modelling. Some preliminary work has been done on logistics
initiatives in the SE in particular regarding the development of crowd
logistics. A few conceptual papers aim at defining the different types (Mladenow
et al., 2016; Carbone et al., 2018), the business-models (Frehe et al., 2017)
and the value creation logics (Carbone et al., 2017) of crowd-logistics. More
insights are needed on the one hand to understand the role of SCM, transport
and logistics within the SE, notably to assess the actual environmental impacts
of SE. On the other hand, typologies and models of crowd logistics still need
to be refined, contrasted and completed. Further on, there is also a need to
comprehend the interweaving of logistics/SCM and SE: how does the SE affect the
logistics industry? How does it challenge it? How do traditional and crowd
logistics influence each other? Do consumers play an autonomous logistics role?
Finally, the financial and operational viability of such new logistics models and
firms could be examined. </p>

conceptual, empirical, and can utilize a wide variety of approaches and
methods, such as literature reviews, conceptual theory development, large-scale
empirical studies, experimental designs, case studies, grounded theory research

with <i>IJPDLM</i> guidelines,
quantitatively oriented mathematical modelling and simulation studies are
unlikely to meet the requirements of this Special Issue. Regardless of the method
employed, preference will be given to theoretically sound research papers that appropriately
