Sažetak
The ongoing drive to reduce greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions and changing customer preferences to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly are putting a lot of pressure on the supply-chain industry. Supply-chain business is constantly looking for innovative methods and practices to improve business processes in a sustainable way. In order to be sustainable, supply chains need to simultaneously meet economic, social, and environmental aspects in the sense of the concept of the triple bottom line (Elkington, 1998 in Ocicka & Wieteska, 2017). The use of new technologies, especially network technologies in supply-chain business, can help companies meet these requirements. What new technologies can also do is provide the opportunity to work according to the concept of the “sharing economy.” This concept is not new, but as technology develops, the sharing-economy model is spreading rapidly across a growing number of industries and markets worldwide (Owyang et al., 2013). The sharing economy can be beneficial for companies involved in supply chains as it allows them to share costly physical assets such as machinery, vehicles, and warehouses, and share information more easily.
