摘要

Despite the sharing economy’s rapid growth, a significant knowledge gap remains in understanding how innovation emerges and diffuses through technological collaboration networks. While prior studies have examined business models and social impacts, the mechanisms of technological advancement, especially via patent collaborations, are less explored. This study addresses these gaps by conducting a comprehensive patent analysis, leveraging Social Network Analysis (SNA) and text mining to map collaboration patterns, influential entities, and emerging technological trends within sharing economy patents. Through centrality analysis and community detection, the research uncovers key players such as Microsoft Corp, SAP, IBM, and Oracle Int Corp, and identifies major technological clusters, including Digital Asset Management and Blockchain Social Networking. These insights support strategic decision-making for corporations, SMEs, policymakers, and researchers, offering a robust empirical foundation for understanding innovation dynamics in the sharing economy. This study represents the first detailed mapping of technological collaboration within this sector.
