    Abstract

    Collaborative business models are often equated with disruptive commercial
    endeavors, epitomised by a handful large global sharing platforms. They
    represent a certain archetype of business model, extracting profit from market-mediated peer exchanges. A narrow focus on for-profit models obstructs coming to
    terms with the full scope of the collaborative economy phenomena, driven by
    purposes and actors beyond commercial market domains. This chapter attempts
    to broaden this perspective by reviewing alternative value creation mechanisms and
    presents emerging business model archetypes.
