Abstract / Description of output

The paper explores the potential for deploying blockchain within existing organisations to support value creation and capture. Drawing from the study of a charity retail organisation, the paper finds that within incumbent business models, blockchain’s potential for value creation and capture arises from enabling more efficient transactions and from creating the mechanisms to support new forms of transactions embodying new value propositions. The analysis also highlights the role that the blockchain technology has in delivering such value: strengthening trust, demonstrating accountability, and supporting decentralisation of selected central management activities.
