The Sharing Economy: Industry disruptor or passing phase?
One of the sharing economy’s global innovators came to Canada on Tuesday to proclaim that the trend is not only here to stay, but killing the traditional business model as we know it. Robin Chase is a co-founder and former CEO of U.S.-based Zipcar, the world’s largest car sharing service. During a keynote at the Ontario Centres of Excellence Discovery 2016 conference in Toronto, she declared that the traditional economic model will be surpassed by a new collaborative one. “We’re all co-creators. The idea that I’m a passive consumer and I just wait for someone to create something for me? No … industrialized capitalism, for me, is dead,” said Chase.
