“…However, a general problem with values in digital zero-price markets or managing values by content creators is the lack of transparency of the value streams (Adams, Parry, Godsiff, & Ward, 2017;Savelyev, 2018). The blockchain technology has therefore been suggested as a more transparent alternative or as a complement to platforms (Fabian, 2017;Manski, 2017;Savelyev, 2017). To be more specific, the blockchain technology deals with trust and transparency but can also enable value to be transferred directly between consumers without any intermediates (Swan, 2015;Tapscott & Tapscott, 2017).…”

“…To be more specific, Adams et al (2017) have decomposed the possibilities of the blockchain technology into the following three areas: accuracy and accessibility of rights and copyright data, speed of royalty payments and transparency of the value chain. Even though transparency and visibility now have started to receive attention, more attention is needed (Manski, 2017;Scott et al, 2017).…”

“…The blockchain technology also facilitates so-called smart contracts. Smart contracts can be defined as a set of rules coded by programmers with the aim to accurately reflect the negotiated terms between two (or more) parties Manski (2017). As the code of the smart contract cannot be modified after it has been put in use (in order to be valid by the community), it is very important to make sure that the contract is error-free.…”

In the context of what is commonly referred to as consumer-centric digital economy, personal data has become the new currency which is utilized by consumers to be granted access to seemingly "free apps" within so-called digital zero-price markets. Simultaneously, there are consumers, known as "content creators", who can generate million-dollar revenues annually. The current understanding of how consumers create and capture value within this new digital economy is scarce and more research is needed to systematically build a basis for creating an understanding of value creation and capture in the consumer-centric digital economy, based on a consumer perspective. The purpose of this dissertation is consequently to explore how consumers create and capture value within a consumer-centric digital economy. The explorative study also serves to obtain an initial overview of the phenomenon and the widely dispersed literature which spans different research fields. The collected data constitute more than 500 articles in combination with empirical data collected from websites. Based on the current literature, central concepts related to consumer-centric digital economy are explained. These include for instance Web 2.0, user-generated content and the consumerto-business relationship. The different concepts are discussed in relation to each other and a trend analysis shows that these concepts are on the rise and have become increasingly popular. The results show that consumers within the digital economy may take different roles, and some create value as business-oriented consumers (i.e., consumers who have a commercial interest). For instance, they make a business out of their participation in the digital economy. Examples are YouTubers, bloggers or creators in virtual worlds such as Second Life. Another, probably larger category is characterized as traditional consumers, for instance they participate in the digital economy through their use of seemingly "free" apps but do not reap any direct monetary benefits. By sharing their personal data, they take part in value creation in a more passive way. The findings also indicate that the level of control, e.g. determined by whether or not value is created within the digital platform, may characterize the prerequisites for value capture. Based on this, a taxonomy for value creation and value capture by consumers in the digital economy is developed. The study also identifies different business model types for business-oriented consumers.

“…As tecnologias de finanças digitais, incluindo blockchain, capacitaram um tipo de empreendedorismo crescente que busca oportunidades em relação a indivíduos financeiramente excluídos. Manski (2017). Algumas aplicações blockchain permitem a democratização das finanças, serviços, agricultura e governança, mas também podem aprofundar a desigualdade e enfraquecer a democracia.…”

Blockchain ou Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) apresenta uma onda de disrupção causada pela tecnologia havendo enormes oportunidades de desenvolvimento futuro. É uma das invenções fundamentais na história da ciência da computação. Apresenta um elemento faltante na Internet que é um protocolo de confiança. Analisando as principais fontes de referências em pesquisas sobre blockchain e de 81 artigos sobre o tópico na base web of science no período entre 2016 e 2018. Foram analisados aspectos das principais fontes da literatura, autores, métodos de pesquisa, países, redes de pesquisas, entre outros. Foi utilizado método bibliométrico e de text analytics para o seu desenvolvimento. Diversos pacotes do software R foram utilizados em codificação própria. Analisou-se progresso atual da tecnologia blockchain, suas limitações e tendências futuras. A pesquisa mostra que a pesquisa doméstica sobre o blockchain está em sua infância. Muitas das pesquisas internacionais ainda usam como case a análise qualitativa. Tópicos como moeda digital, Fintechs e o risco da tecnologia blockchain serão o foco de pesquisas futuras.

Originally developed as the accounting method for the virtual currency Bitcoin, Blockchains are appearing in a variety of commercial applications today. Blockchain technology is a type of distributed digital ledger that uses encryption to make entries permanent and tamper-proof and can be programmed to record financial transactions. It is used for secure transfer of money, assets, and information via a computer network such as the Internet without requiring a third-party intermediary. It is now being adopted across financial and non-financial sectors. As a catalyst for change, the Blockchain technology is going to change the business world and financial matters in major ways. This paper provides an introduction to Blockchain.
