Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies in IS track
CALL FOR PAPERS ECIS’2020
European Conference on Information Systems, June 15-17, 2020,
Marrakech, Morocco

Call for Contributions
Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies challenge
prevailing myths concerning supremacy of centralised computing
architectures and offer new opportunities for developing radically
new transactional digital services for private and public sector.
Not only does blockchain have the potential to offer new
transparency, but also to reduce the time for settlement and
finalization, which is important in the context of title
transfers, securities trading and so on. At the same time, the new
technology architecture has been criticised as being ‘unnecessary’
or ‘unfit’ to deal with real issues in finance and beyond,
especially due to its weak governance arrangements in
‘permissionless’ platforms and issues around transparency and
irreversibility of transactions which can be challenging in the
context of payments. We are especially interested on research
related to the new peerless platforms and distributed autonomous
organizations (DAOs) and their effect on business ecosystems as
well research that follows up whether and how anticipated
commercial success materializes and is measured. Answering these
questions is pivotal from the perspectives of business research
and policy making.
