Theme
We are moving into an era of utilizing blockchains that create
opportunities as well as challenges for the creation of new
services and whole service ecosystems. New platform technologies,
such as blockchain, offer new opportunities, especially for
developing radically new transactional digital services. According
to HBR, “blockchain could dramatically reduce the cost of
transactions” by replacing private trust services with an open
mode. There are examples of blockchain use for identity
management, maintenance of shipping records in cross-border
shipping, and even digital art. In addition to transparency,
blockchain also offers near instant settlement and finalization,
which is important in, for example, stock trading, title transfers
and so on. Blockchain technologies in wider context (i.e. beyond
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies) are expected to develop into
the new “Internet transaction platform”.
We are also interested on research related to the emergence of new
peerless platforms and distributed autonomous organizations
(DAOs), their use and 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. These developments have clear links particularly to
research on transactional services, but we invite submissions that
focus on all kinds of novel services and platforms building on
blockchain and their use and users.
As HICSS continues to address leading-edge developments, we
especially encourage the submission of papers describing
innovative services and approaches to utilizing blockchain. We
welcome service science papers that discuss blockchain
applications, as well as studies employing design research,
qualitative or quantitative research methods.
