“…In the global context, it is essential that companies seek to improve their performance and competitiveness through innovations (Lau and Lo, 2019). In addition to launching innovative products on the market, competitive strategies need to include other concerns (Lopez-Valeiras et al, 2016), such as the need to create new business processes, services and structural changes that allow creating value for the company (Bisbe and Malagueño, 2015;L opez-Pintado et al, 2022;Ramayah et al, 2020). Much of the research focuses primarily on product innovation (Chenhall and Moers, 2015;Lopez-Valeiras et al, 2016;Guo et al, 2019).…”

PurposeThe paper aims to analyze the influence of the enabling design of management control systems (MCS) on the intensity of use of management controls (budgeting and reengineering and improvement) in innovation (of processes and marketing).Design/methodology/approachA survey was conducted with mid-level managers of the companies that are considered the most innovative in Brazil. Structural equation modeling was applied to analyze the data.FindingsThe enabling MCS design positively and directly influences the intensity of use of management controls (budgeting and reengineering and improvements) and innovation (of processes and marketing). Indirect effects are also observed in the relationship between the enabling MCS design and innovation, through the intensity of use of reengineering and improvements. Environmental uncertainties reflect negatively on the intensity of use of management controls and innovation. These results broaden the discussions on the factors that can affect innovation actions and highlight the importance of considering them in the MCS design.Originality/valueThe value of the study lies in contributing to minimize inconsistencies in research results concerning the effects of MCS on innovation and of factors that may act as intervening factors in such a relationship. It discusses the influence of internal organizational factors, related to MCS design, and of external factors, environmental uncertainties, on the intensity of use of specific management controls and on the promotion of innovations in companies imbued with this mission.

“…Compared to traditional allocation systems, blockchain-based allocation protocols unlock trustworthy process automation [9,21,22]. Indeed, integrity of the protocol can be ensured as all carriers are considered before attributing a request, while historic data stored in the blockchain is tamper-proof.…”

Decentralized procurement mechanisms for efficient logistics services mapping - a design science research approach

Companies tend to outsource logistics services for flexibility or platform operating costs reduction. To do so, they typically use centralized platforms to delegate the services procurement process. However, those platforms can be prone to information asymmetries between carriers and shippers which can lead to sub-optimal procurement outcomes. A more transparent and efficient way to manage the procurement of logistics services between carriers and shippers could be a decentralized platform based on blockchain and smart contracts. In this paper, we design, implement, and evaluate the potential for a decentralized logistics services procurement system, following a design science research approach. In so doing, we contribute by (1) developing such a decentralized logistics services procurement system that addresses the allocation problem, and (2) developing a set of nascent design principles guiding the elaboration of decentralized procurement mechanisms on blockchain.

“…This approach has been taken by works such as (Ladleif et al , 2019, 2020; Weber et al , 2016). Others, such as (Klinger et al , 2020; López-Pintado et al , 2020) propose enabling collaborative blockchain-based process execution by focussing on the creation and upgradability of smart contracts. Blockchain is also viewed as a platform responsible for executing the tasks.…”

PurposeBlockchain technology is increasingly positioned as a promising and disruptive technology. Such a promise has attracted companies to explore how blockchain technology can be used to gain significant benefits. Process models play a cardinal role when seeking to improve business processes as they are the foundation of process analysis and redesign. This paper examines how blockchain-oriented processes can be conceptually modelled with activity- (BPMN) and artifact-centric (CMMN) modelling paradigms.Design/methodology/approachThis paper discusses how commonly occurring patterns, specific to block-chain-based applications, can be modelled with BPMN and CMMN. Furthermore, the advantages and disadvantages of both notations for accurately representing blockchain-specific patterns are discussed.FindingsThe main finding of this paper is that neither BPMN nor CMMN can adequately and accurately represent certain patterns specific for blockchain-oriented processes. BPMN, while supporting most of the patterns, does not provide sufficient support to represent tokenization. CMMN, on the other hand, does not provide support to distinguish between activities executed and data stored on-chain versus off-chain.Originality/valueThe paper provides insight into the strengths and weaknesses of BPMN and CMMN for modelling processes to be supported by blockchain. This will serve to aid analysts to produce better process models for communication purposes and, thereby, facilitate development of blockchain-based solutions.
