Współdzielenie pojazdów elektrycznych jako interdyscyplinarne pole badawcze różnych obszarów nauki

Abstracts

PL

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie współdzielenia samochodów (car sharing – CS), ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem samochodów elektrycznych jako interdyscyplinarnego obszaru badawczego. Dotyczy to nie tylko nauk społecznych – zarządzania (strategii czy marketingu), socjologii, ekonomii (w tym ekonomii współdzielenia), psychologii konsumenta, lecz także urbanistyki, nauk inżynierskich (elektrotechniki czy energetyki) czy wreszcie ekologii. Dopiero wykorzystanie szerszej perspektywy pozwala na zrozumienie znaczenia współdzielenia pojazdów, a w tym pojazdów elektrycznych, we współczesnych procesach społecznych i ekonomicznych. Diagnoza czynników mogących wpłynąć na powszechne wykorzystanie car sharingu, który traktujemy jako element reakcji miast na kongestię i smog, wymaga nawiązania do wiedzy z zakresu wskazanych wcześniej dyscyplin naukowych. Podstawowa wartość niniejszego artykułu polega na tym, że zapewnia wielowątkowe spojrzenie na konsumenta i prosumenta, mobilność miejską i ekosystem energetyczny z punktu widzenia ekonomii współdzielenia i samochodu zero/niskoemisyjnego. W ostatnich latach liczba artykułów badawczych dotyczących car sharingu rośnie (Ferrero, Perboli, Rosano i Vesco, 2018), jednak dominują opracowania pisane z punktu widzenia pojedynczej, rzadziej dwóch dyscyplin naukowych. Proponujemy rozszerzenie tej perspektywy. Choć w kategoriach badawczych niniejsza praca ma charakter wstępny i eksploracyjny, przyjęcie szerokiej perspektywy obserwacji powinno pozwolić na nawiązanie dialogu między dyscyplinami, aby zapewnić lepsze formułowanie problemów badawczych i rozwiązywanie dylematów społecznoekonomicznych w dziedzinie ekonomii współdzielenia, a też lepiej wprowadzić zagadnienie współdzielenia do obszaru nauk o zarządzaniu.

The aim of the article is to present car sharing, with particular emphasis on electric car sharing, as an interdisciplinary research area. This applies not only to social sciences – management (strategy or marketing), sociology, economics (including the sharing economy), consumer psychology, but also to urban planning, engineering sciences (electrical engineering or energy) and, finally, ecology. Only the use of a broader perspective allows the understanding of the importance of car sharing, including electric vehicles, in contemporary social and economic processes. The diagnosis of factors that may affect the widespread use of car sharing, which we treat as an element of cities’ response to congestion and smog, requires a reference to the knowledge of the previously mentioned scientific disciplines. The core value of this article is that it provides a multi-faceted perspective on the consumer and prosumer, urban mobility and the energy ecosystem from the point of view of the sharing economy and zero/low carbon cars. In recent years, the number of research articles on car sharing has been growing (Ferrero, Perboli, Rosano, & Vesco, 2018); however, studies written from the point of view of a single, less often two scientific disciplines dominate. We propose to extend this perspective. Although, in research terms, this work is preliminary and exploratory, adopting a broad observation perspective should allow for establishing a dialogue between disciplines to ensure better formulation of research problems and solve socio-economic dilemmas not only in the field of the sharing economy, and to better introduce the issue of car sharing to the area of management sciences.
