The Journal for Service Management Research

[Hugo Guyader]

Dear all,

There is a new marketing journal focused on services which has published its first issue this month: the Journal for Service Management Research. Most interestingly, its European board of editors published a list of 8 topics of interests, among them, "Services in the Sharing Economy" (p.16-18). 

It is not a call for paper per se, but I believe this might be a relevant journal to submit empirical research related to Sharing and alternative economies and Collaborative consumption of services.

PS: for services researchers, everything is a service ;) 

Also, the P2P Foundation and the Transnational Institute published a Primer on the Commons & P2P before the summer. It's a very complete read!

Eventually, the Sharing and Caring COST working group No 1 on Collaborative Economy Practices and Communities will begin inventory and data collection of case studies, and they welcome further expressions of interest to take part in the ethnographic research, via email to sharingandcar...@gmail.com by Friday 29th September (see attached email for more info). 

If you have any research-related news, please share it too.

Kind regards,

Hugo Guyader
