Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The exponential growth of disruptive technology is changing our world.The development of cloud computing, big data, the internet of things, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and other related autonomous systems, such as self-driving vehicles, have triggered the emergence of new products and services. These significant technological breakthroughs have opened the door to new economic models such as the sharing and platform-based economy. As a result, companies are becoming increasingly data- and algorithm-driven, coming to be more like 'decentralized platforms'. New transaction or payment methods such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, based on trust-building systems using Blockchain, smart contracts, and other distributed ledger technology, also constitute an essential part of this new economic model.The sharing economy and digital platforms also include the everyday exchange of goods allowing individuals to commodify their surplus resources.Information and innovation technologies are used in order to then match these resources with existing demand in the market.

The chapters presented in this edition attempt to answer some of these lingering questions from the perspective of diverse legal backgrounds.…
