This book explores all aspects of the sharing economy, pursuing a multidisciplinary approach encompassing Service Design, Spatial Design, Sociology, Economics, Law, and Transport and Operations Research. The book develops a unified vision of sharing services, and pinpoints the most important new challenges. The first, more theoretical part covers general topics from the perspectives of experts in the respective disciplines. Among the subjects addressed are the role of the user in co-design and co-production; impacts of sharing services on cities, communities, and private spaces; individual rewarding and social outcomes; regulatory issues; and the scope for improving the efficiency of design, management, and analysis of sharing services. In turn, the second part of the book presents a selection of case studies of specific sharing services, in which many of the concepts described in the first part are put into practice. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of sharing services and of the hidden problems that may arise. Key factors responsible for the success (or failure) of sharing services are identified by analyzing some of the best (and worst) practices. Given its breadth of coverage, the book offers a valuable guide for researchers and for all stakeholders in the sharing economy, including startup founders and local administrators.
This volume takes advantage of this opportunity by presenting a collection of empirical and conceptual work that explores the variety and the trajectories of new forms of organizing in the sharing economy, and in doing so builds on, rejuvenates, and refines existing organization theories.
Although much has been written and discussed about value-added tax (VAT) as an important source of public revenue in the EU, to date, the complex issue of the VAT liability of intermediaries operating in the digital realm remains underexplored. This book is the first to provide an in-depth examination of the VAT qualification of short-term rental platforms and their associated regulatory challenges, and also analyse and compare three deemed supplier models – intermediators of electronic services, e-commerce, and accommodation services – within the EU VAT system. The author details all the essential topics arising from the platform economy’s impact on the short-term rental sector and VAT collection challenges, including the following: existing VAT regulations relevant to the accommodation sector; online hosts as VAT taxable persons; classification of services provided by platforms; platforms as undisclosed agents; application of Article 28 of the VAT Directive to short-term rental platforms; the role of intermediaries in the VAT collection; the concept of the deemed supplier and its role in the EU VAT system. By describing the deemed supplier solution on the example of transactions through short-term rental platforms, the book facilitates compliance and strategic planning for platform operators, tax practitioners, and other professionals dealing with VAT in the EU. It will also prove advantageous in the development of effective VAT policies and regulations, ultimately contributing to improved tax collection and economic efficiency.
The focus of this book is an application of Digital Twin as a concept and an approach, based on the most accurate view on a physical production system and its digital representation of complex engineering products and systems. It describes a methodology to create and use Digital Twin in a built environment for the improvement and optimization of factory processes such as factory planning, investment planning, bottleneck analysis, and in-house material transport. The book provides a practical response based on achievements of engineering informatics in solving challenges related to the optimization of factory layout and corresponding processes. This book introduces the topic, providing a foundation of knowledge on process planning, before discussing the acquisition of objects in a factory and the methods for object recognition. It presents process simulation techniques, explores challenges in process planning, and concludes by looking at future areas of progression. By providing a holistic, trans-disciplinary perspective, this book will showcase Digital Twin technology as state-of-the-art both in research and practice.
A continuous requirement for better urban transport systems and the need for a healthier environment has resulted in an increasing demand for new solutions. Innovative systems, new approaches and original ideas need to be thoroughly tested and critically evaluated before they can be implemented in practice. Moreover, there is a growing need for integration with telecommunications systems and IT applications in order to improve safety, security and efficiency. This volume also addresses the need to solve important pollution problems associated with urban transport in order to achieve a healthier environment. The variety of topics covered by the included research works, which were presented at the 26th International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment, reflect the complex interaction of urban transport systems with their environment and the need to establish integrated strategies. The goal is to arrive at optimal socio-economic solutions while reducing the negative environmental impacts of current transportation systems.
Interdisciplinary Shared Governance is the foundational reference for interdisciplinary shared governance model design and implementation. This text provides a seminal information base for translating nursing shared governance across disciplinary boundaries in a way that creates systems and practice linkages across the organization. The Second Edition has been updated with new concepts and further research that extends thinking with regard to shared governance, Magnet recognition, and interdisciplinary relationships. This revised edition is essential in supporting the broad-based application of shared governance as a decision-making model for integrating clinical practice.

This book explores questions of transnational private legal theory in the context of the external dimension of EU private law. The interaction between existing theories of transnational ordering and the external reach of European Regulatory Private Law is articulated through examination of what are found to be the three major proxies of transnational private ordering: private contracts, standards and codes.
