Abstract

Sharing economy platforms involved in the accommodation sector in Indonesia are struggling within the business world of the hospitality or lodging services, which promise high profits. Platforms, as information systems, can function as intermediaries between buyers and sellers in vertical markets, thereby creating an electronic marketplace. The concept of the sharing economy offers the benefit of allowing people to use their resources (the assets they own) more efficiently. Disruption refers to the process where large companies that have dominated for a long time are overtaken by smaller companies with fewer resources. In recent years, there has been a shift in the business landscape that impacts both Indonesia and the world. Technological advances in the capital market have introduced the term e-IPO (electronic Initial Public Offering) to the public, aligning with issuers' needs to make the going-public process more efficient. Investing in accommodation or short-term property rental sharing platform companies has gained popularity due to the features and convenience of purchasing shares through e-IPO, which are quite practical and efficient. The objectives of this study are: (i) to examine the investment arrangements of sharing economy platforms in Indonesia’s accommodation sector, and (ii) to explore the concept of dispute resolution for e-IPO investments through arbitration. This research aims to clarify the investment structure of sharing economy platforms within the accommodation business and the preferred forums for resolving disputes related to e-IPO investments through arbitration.
