- Summary:
- A primary goal of organizations is to enable coordination among multiple actors, and such coordination is achieved through governance arrangements that define the "rules of the game" and structure how actors may engage in exchange activities. When modes of production in the economy evolve as a result of technological advances, so do governance arrangements in organizations. The emergence of new governance arrangements offers an opportunity to revisit and renew theories and assumptions regarding effective strategies and challenges to coordinate economic activities for value creation. This dissertation is an effort to achieve this by examining novel governance arrangements enabled by a prominent emerging technology, e.g., blockchain technology, and their implications for value creation in digital platform contexts. Essay 1 describes the first study which examines how blockchain technology enable the decentralization of decision rights in a digital platform and how such decentralization affects complementor participation. Essay 2 describes the second study which examines how blockchain infrastructures enable platform owners to limit their identifiability and how different degrees of identifiability affect complementor participation. Both studies draw on a novel, transaction-level dataset of deposit records for over one hundred blockchain-based cryptocurrency exchange platforms. Together, the two studies push the boundaries of our knowledge on governance arrangements in the digital, platform-based economy, shedding light on effective governance strategies for value creation
