Streamlining Prosumption of Users of the So-Called New Media in the Context of General European Economic Crisis

Summary/Abstract: Article aim: conceptualisation and measurement of the so-called streamlining prosumption as a specific manifestation of prosumption connected with the economic crisis as well as determination of the correlative dependencies between streamlining prosumption and the selected traits of consumers. Research approach: the article is based on the deductive approach ‒ based on the literature studies, there is defined streamlining prosumption, developed the measuring model and carried out an empirical test on the sample of users of social media (n= 309). Main research findings: streamlining prosumption is relatively widespread in Poland; its level is negatively affected by consumers’ incomes; in turn, the high propensity to streamlining prosumption positively affects consumers’ savings. Practical implications: the phenomenon of streamlining prosumption can be used by different enterprises on the days of the crisis, on the model of such companies as, for instance, IKEA (e.g. furniture assembly on one’s own) or Tesco (cashdesk self-handling). Social implications: popularisation of streamlining prosumption may be treated as the global anti-crisis factor and the one establishing household budgets. Article category: research.
