A Call for Research: Cryptocurrencies as a Disruptive Technology for Governments, Organizations, and Society
Résumé
With the potential for significant effects on financial systems, societal order, and organizational strategy, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies stand as a potentially major disruptive force (Rossi et al. 2019). As such, Information Systems Research should focus resources on this still emerging technology. The objective of this research is to identify and analyze what research has found since these technologies have emerged in the last decade. An inductive study was conducted where articles from the AIS Basket of 8 journal list in the domain of cryptocurrencies and blockchain were examined and categorized into emergent themes. These themes were analyzed and supplemented with other research. Resultantly, the ramifications for future trends in research were discussed.
