Abstract:
The introduction of Information and Communication Technologies along with the spread of the Internet has led to a digital transformation of the world, offering people a whole new set of opportunities, among them the Sharing Economy: a phenomenon allowing people to trade assets through platforms enabling a better coordination with strangers. The work environment has also experienced a great change, going from the old, classic agency-based model to the innovative Human-Cloud model, a system of online platforms facilitating the match between workers and hirers with no physical or time limitations. However, precisely the novelty of the phenomenon has resulted in regulatory issues and concerns never treated before whose solution is yet to be found.
