Blockchain in International Business: Opening the debate
Multinational corporations (MNCs) and #borndigitals have a great potential to benefit from both public, open source blockchains (such as near.org, or ethereum), as well as from the private ones (e.g. created within industrial ecosystems). As an unpatented, #disruptive innovation, blockchain has a large potential to change #businessmodels and patterns of internationalization. Yet, to what extent the high expectations of the blockchain technology are justified, and what might be overestimated, remains a question. In this panel, we aim to open the debate on the implications of blockchain technology for international business. We discuss about #bitcoin and #cryptocurrencies, but also many other applications of blockchain (#NFTs, #smartcontracts, #blockchaininsupplychain, #digitalpayments), etc. We conclude with the #implications to #internationalbusinesstheory.
