Abstract

Blockchain is becoming an increasingly relevant topic and companies are beginning to build business solution using this technology. Despite the relevance of the changes that blockchain could bring to business and management, current research is still predominantly focused on technological aspects and practical applications. Knowledge is lacking also both for academics and practitioners who, still struggle to have a clear understanding of the potential impacts of blockchain. Moreover, scientific literature addressing the business adoption of blockchain does not seem to consider the increasing differentiation of blockchain real-world applications This study hence aims to start filling this gap by investigating the existing body of knowledge systematically through a review in which the potential impacts of blockchain are presented and future avenues of research are set out. The review is based on 61 scientific articles published between January 2008 and January 2020. The review has been structured considering two frameworks: the business model elements of value creation, delivery, and capture and the different stages of evolution of blockchain applications. The results provide evidence and future direction for research that are valuable for both academics and managers.
