Abstract

Blockchain does not fit into the traditional theoretical frameworks designed to generate firm performance and achieve competitive advantage. The disruptive nature and unconventional characteristics of the technology call for exploration and examination of the same. The novelty and complexity of the technology invites scholars and practitioners to analyze and understand the resources/capabilities necessary to exploit it for profit maximization. This paper seeks to understand these questions from a theoretical analysis of extant literature in the information systems and strategic management domains.

Blockchain Technology and Firm Performance

Blockchain does not fit into the traditional theoretical frameworks designed to generate firm performance and achieve competitive advantage. The disruptive nature and unconventional characteristics of the technology call for exploration and examination of the same. The novelty and complexity of the technology invites scholars and practitioners to analyze and understand the resources/capabilities necessary to exploit it for profit maximization. This paper seeks to understand these questions from a theoretical analysis of extant literature in the information systems and strategic management domains.
