Technologia Blockchain i jej zastosowanie w zarządzaniu łańcuchem dostaw
2019
Blockchain is a new technology that allows for decentralized data storage and data verification. Recently, this technology has been gaining more and more interest from representatives of various industries, including logistics and supply chain management. There are more and more voices that Blockchain technology will revolutionize existing business models. However, current research in this area are limited, especially in the logistics and supply chain. Therefore, the aim of this study is the identification of the Blockchain Technology benefits and presenting the potential areas of its application in the supply chain.
THE SANDBOX OF THE UK FINANCIAL CONDUCT AUTHORITY AS A WIN-WIN REGULATORY DEVICE?
2018
This paper deals with initial coin offerings (ICOs) and the sandbox approach that has been adopted by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Its conclusion is that this approach is no longer an instrument for mutual learning only, but that it is becoming a device that produces an original form of cooperative regulatory design where the FCA cooperates with firms to shape the algorithms in a way which is more investor-friendly. Moreover, since this activity does not necessarily imply a tradeoff between social benefits and private costs, unlike other forms of cooperative regulation; and since this activity does not regulate the algorithms directly, as happens with other forms of regulatory …

Next Generation Home Sharing: Disrupting Platform Organizations with Blockchain Technology and the Internet of Things?
2020
During the last decade, the sharing economy has given birth to a number of market mediators, which have grown to become the world’s most valuable companies. Centralized sharing platforms like Uber, Didi Chuxing, and Airbnb have transformed several traditional industries. However, with the rise of the blockchain technology, some voices predict that these platform companies will soon be at risk of being disrupted themselves. In this chapter, we address the question of whether blockchain technology has given birth to a new breed of sharing economy platforms that can challenge the incumbents’ business models. We identify five different stages of the application of blockchain technology in emerg…
Industry Emergence between Technology and Zeitgeist
2021
Abstract This chapter examines the dynamics of industry emergence using the case of the blockchain and crypto (BC) industry. The BC industry is a rapidly developing field that has—in less than a decade—transformed from initially being a volunteer project of a small group of cypherpunks to a global industry with a plethora of actors involving vivid entrepreneurial and corporate activity. Importantly, the review of the extant literature and evidence reveals that ideological driving forces, which have been neglected in prior industry emergence research, constitute a major catalyst of this rapid industry development. In this vein, the chapter shows that the ideological notion of ‘decentralizati…
Blockchain for power systems:Current trends and future applications
2020
Abstract Today, the blockchain is synonymous of technological innovation, being recognized among the 10 top strategy technologies in 2018 by the consulting company Gartner, it is more and more adopted in different sectors. However, the initial enthusiasm around this technology is going beyond the peak of inflated expectations, towards more stable applications in money transactions, cryptocurrencies and Digital Commodity Exchanges. Essentially, misguided efforts, the overuse of blockchain, and the Bitcoin's price drop have been the main reasons for this decay in expectations. Nevertheless, the exploitation of the blockchain technology in the power systems area appears largely underexplored, …
Using Blockchain in Digitalizing Enterprise Legacy Systems: An Experience Report
2021
Blockchain technology and distributed ledger technology (DLT) offer a secure, distributed, and tamper-proof way to store and exchange information. However, apart from standard cryptocurrency-based networks, innovations and process improvements based on the blockchain technology have mostly remained on the conceptualizing stage and have not yet reached mass adoption. There is a high demand for practical experiences from developing blockchain and DLT based systems in various domains outside FinTech. This work seeks to contribute to this gap by presenting real-world experiences from developing a proof of concept for automatizing conditional payments in social benefits and healthcare domains. W…

The role of blockchain for food safety and market efficiency
2022
It is well known that the introduction of Blockchain in the agri-food sector represents a digital innovation aimed at increasing business income through the reduction of production inputs (and therefore of production costs expressed at constant prices) and/or the increase of output (increase in the quantity produced and therefore in revenues expressed at constant prices). According to Schumpeter, innovation and entrepreneurship mainly depend on innovative people, their skills and knowledge. In fact, digital innovation is always aimed at increasing the competitiveness of the company and can concern an improvement in technical and economic efficiency. On an existing company structure, efficie…
