Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

Abstract

Our paper examines why blockchain is successfully employed in business sectors as Financial, Insurance, Banking services rather than in other sectors. We suspect that this may be explained by the implementation of regulations on blockchain in the Financial, Insurance, Banking services.
Specifically, on the base of TOE framework and IT business value theory, we investigate if the implementation of law on blockchain in an industry and the lack of such law in other industries respectively increases and decreases the use of the above technology by companies. Our paper has significant implications by clarifying if and how the legal framework is driving the adoption of blockchain at the corporate level.
