Sharing economy has been one of the emerging and promising research topics in the operation management field, and there has been a growing body of related literature in recent years. The academic notion on sharing economy is first clarified, and the corresponding research scopes are introduced. Then based on the ownership of the shared resource, the business modes of sharing economy are categorized into C2C and B2C modes. Then within each type of business mode, representative platforms (including house-sharing, ride-sharing and bike-sharing platforms) are picked up, in the context of which, literature related to the corresponding business mode is reviewed, especially the pricing problem in the C2C mode and resource management problem in the B2C mode.
