Case Studies in Service Innovation

Abstract

The Taipei Association of Real Estate Brokers (TAREB) integrated all resources from members and government to install an electronic commerce (e-commerce) website, which is shared by all members. In order to successfully implement e-commerce and knowledge sharing, this association also formulated a reasonable commission share system and a disputation arbitration mechanism to encourage and ensure that house agents share information and objects. Finally, all members of TAREB enjoyed an expansion of the market, cost reduction, profit increases and numerous benefits brought by e-commerce and knowledge sharing.
