Proud to announce the publication of our article entitled "(Self)-Regulation of Sharing Economy Platforms through Partial Meta-Organizing" in the Journal of Business Ethics
Can platforms close the governance gap in the sharing economy, and if so, how? Through an in-depth qualitative case study, we analyze the process by which new regulation and self-regulation emerge in one sector of the sharing economy, crowdfunding, through the actions of a meta-organization. We focus on the principal French sectoral meta-organization, Financement Participatif France (FPF-Crowdfunding France). We show that this multi-stakeholder meta-organization not only closed the governance gap through collective legal, ethical, and utilitarian work but also preceded and shaped the new market. We present a hybrid governance approach combining a) soft multi-agency regulation, b) self-regulation through a process of "partial meta-organizing", and c) direct civil society participation. We expand the literature by highlighting features of partial meta-organizing by sharing economy platforms and by identifying conditions for successful joint regulation and self-regulation of the sector. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333673573_Self-Regulation_of_Sharing_Economy_Platforms_through_Partial_Meta-Organizing

Seemingly infinite, and above all so far away from our daily worries, the ocean may look like it can put up with all anthropic pressures: plastic, warming, acidification, resources overconsumption, novel entities, biodiversity and habitat loss. But science keeps showing it cannot. There is an urgent need to address these pressures that threaten both natural and human ecosystems. In this context of urgency, it appears crucial to develop Sustainable Ocean Studies, whose keystone could be management science. Unfortunately, while natural sciences have largely contributed to our understanding of marine issues and their solutions, management scholars on the contrary have rather neglected the ocean. In this special issue, we focus on the need for Sustainable Ocean Studies through three original highlights: scuba diving, marine wild meat consumption and interdisciplinary ocean research.
See our articles here: Par son immensité, sans doute aussi par son éloignement de nos considérations quotidiennes, l’océan nous semble capable d’encaisser tous les coups que nous lui faisons subir : plastique, réchauffement, acidification, surconsommation des ressources, introductions d’entités chimiques nouvelles, perte de biodiversité et d’habitat. Il est urgent d’adresser ces menaces qui font courir le risque d’un effondrement irrémédiable des écosystèmes naturels et humains. Pour ce faire, nous appelons de nos vœux le développement de Sustainable Ocean Studies dont le management pourrait constituer la clé de voute. Car hélas, alors que l’océan fait l’objet de nombreuses recherches en sciences de la Terre, il semble à l’inverse oublié du management. Dans ce dossier, nous abordons l’océan comme enjeu pour la recherche en management à travers trois éclairages : celui de la plongée sous-marine, celui de la consommation de faune menacée et enfin celui de la recherche en mer, nécessairement interdisciplinaire.
