title = {From Goods to Services Consumption: A Social Network Analysis on Sharing Economy and Servitization Research},
year = {2018},
note = {The transition from consuming goods to consuming services is a topic
of great interest for service researchers and has been examined from
various perspectives. We provide an overview of how this field of
research has been approached by systematically analyzing the current
state of the academic literature. We report the results of a social
network analysis of the sharing economy and servitization literature,
which reveals the structure of the knowledge networks that have been
formed as a result of the collaborative works of researchers,
institutions, and journals that shape, generate, distribute, and
preserve the domains’ intellectual knowledge. We shed light on the
cohesion and fragmentation of knowledge and highlight the emerging and
fading topics within the field. The results present a detailed
analysis of the research field and suggest a research agenda on the
transition of goods to services consumption.},
