Summary, in English

In this chapter, we explore how the institutionalization of the sharing economy takes place in cities by applying the framework of institutional work to SEOs (Zvolska et al. 2019) and city governments. Both large and small, for-profit and non-profit sharing organizations are included in this study. Our intention is to contribute to research on the sharing economy by retooling conceptualizations of institutional work, and to contribute to the institutional work literature by testing the institutional theory framework against rich empirical data from SEOs, third-party actors and cities.
