Sharing, facilitate and facilitating access to assets at a lower price, asset sharing could decrease the cost of the use of assets, since we pay only for the prestation,benefits and the use of assets, as the costs are split between several users (Chris J.Martin).
The cost of capital could decrease with sharing, especially when high transaction costs are present. In this case, the project shouldcould be better achieved through social sharing systems than through market-based systems (Yochai Benkler, 2004). The technological state of a society plays a role in the level of sharing. Sharing is often made through platforms that use a certain technology (Yochai Benkler, 2004). The development of the internet and the emergence of new applications have changed the traditional commercial models. The combination of the high performance of new technologies and the low access cost has contributed to create a new form of exchange available to the majority of people. This new way of consuming is fueled by the introduction of smartphones that allow to consumers (people) to have access to a wide range of products and services everywhere from their smartphone. Applications and websites allow people to interact with each other and share their underutilized assets.
