於區塊鏈數位生態系統的設計中透過賦權促進利害關係人的集體貢獻度 / Applying Empowerment Strategy to Facilitate Collective Commitment toward Shared Goal of Stakeholders within a Blockchain-based Digital Ecosystem Design郭閎中 Unknown Date (has links)
區塊鏈原為支援比特幣交易所提出的一項分散式演算法,然而,近期各個產業開始對其感到興趣,並在各領域催生出了許多破壞式創新的應用服務。然而其去中心化的特質,使得利害關係人的溝通和資源管理在區塊鏈生態系統中更具挑戰性,並且也興起了許多相關議題。
本研究以賦權理論的觀點去檢視這些議題,並提出方法論來解決改善這些議題,期望能夠加速輔助創業家或服務設計者建立去中心化生態系統的過程,並且讓每位利害關係人認知整個生態系統的共同的目標,進一步的為之作出貢獻,達到能力和資源的綜效。 / Blockchain, a de-centralized infrastructure which can breed many kinds of disruptive applications, is a promising platform for next generation digital ecosystems. All applications built upon blockchain benefits multiple advantages, including transactions manageability, scalability, security, visibility, affordability, high availability, etc.
However, stakeholder management in blockchain-based businesses will become a very challenging issue for entrepreneurs to deal with their de-centralize characteristics. Without the management and enforcement of a central party, creating collective efficacy and achieving collective commitment among all stakeholders will be crucial for these entrepreneurs.
This research adopts the empowerment perspective to propose a method to solve this issue and facilitate the design of a blockchain ecosystem toward collective efficacy. The method can be divided into three parts. The first is to analyze and collect necessary data from the source of business logic in the context of blockchain smart contract. The second is to utilize these data and liquefy the resources available in the current ecosystem so that the stakeholders can empower each other without the support of central party. The third is to measure the degree of collective efficacy and collective commitment in the ecosystem design in order to identify the effectiveness of our empowerment method.
