Results in brief

Distributed Ledger Technology: Innovation & Ecosystem Management

Evidence suggests that to deliver on the promise of Blockchain technology, participants in Blockchain ecosystems must navigate technological, innovation, governance, and stakeholder tensions at distinct levels: organizational (internal innovation), ecosystem (external innovation) and societal level (consumer, user adoption). Industry, Government, Academia, and other stakeholders must join forces and share expertise to thoroughly investigate the phenomenon and maximize the societal and economic impact of Blockchain technology for EU and global entities. Given that Blockchain technology exists at the intersection of these three distinct levels of analysis (organizational, ecosystem, societal) it is impossible to study the phenomenon without taking into consideration the dynamics that are created at the intersection of these levels. The DIEM consortium brings together academic, government, and industry expertise to investigate the managerial, economic, and societal implications of Blockchain technology. DIEM is a Doctoral Network that creates a platform for doctoral candidates to engage in the co-production of knowledge by investigating state-of-the-art challenges and societal implications of Blockchain technology across actors and industry boundaries.

Project objective

Early evidence suggests that participants in Blockchain ecosystems have to resolve technological, innovation, governance and stakeholder management tensions at different levels: organizational (internal innovation development and management), ecosystem (alliances, platform emergence) and individual level (consumer, user adoption). Industry, Government and research bodies must join forces and share expertise to properly investigate the phenomenon and maximize the societal and economic impact of Blockchain technology for EU and global entities. Given that Blockchain technology exists at the intersection of these three different levels of analysis (organizational, ecosystem, societal) it is impossible to study the phenomenon without taking into consideration the dynamics that are created at the intersection of these levels. DIEM consortium brings together academic, government and industry expertise to holistically investigate the managerial, economic and societal implications of Blockchain technology. DIEM is a Doctoral Network (Industrial Doctorates) that creates a platform for researchers to engage in the co-production of knowledge by investigating state-of-the-art challenges and societal implications of Blockchain technology across actors and industry boundaries. It has a significant potential for creating an impact on careers of PHDs, as transforming Europe into a society capable of building its competitiveness on digital technology requires developing a new generation of responsible researchers with the competency to understand how fundamental shifts in digital technology impact across businesses, industries and society.
