“…Finally, enhance the data security management role of new technologies such as blockchain. Combining the application experience of blockchain technology in innovative digital processes in the fields of biomedicine, energy and smart cities, it is necessary to enhance the data protection and network security of blockchain at the level of industry technology integration and application (Amenta et al, 2021) [66]. Accordingly, in order to simultaneously update the existing data regulatory framework and important rules, it is necessary to encourage the exploration of diversified data security technologies and pilot commercial applications, promote the application of network security technologies such as mimic defense and data encryption and strengthen system security assessment.…”

With the increasing demand for digital innovation scenarios, it is important to complement and improve the policy system for the governance of digital innovation activities. Combining the previous research results on the analysis of antecedent variables, basic effects and potential mechanisms of digital innovation, and based on the citation analysis of digital innovation topics based on the Citespace method, we find that in the past two decades, the topic of digital innovation policy research has gradually shifted from focusing on “constraining policies to control negative impacts” to focusing on “constructive policies to expand positive impacts”. The digital transformation has brought about multidimensional and profound impacts on the governance of innovation activities, and it is necessary to accelerate the theoretical research on policy frameworks for the new areas of technology socialization effects. Summarizing some of the important progresses, we propose a policy framework covering three aspects: policy needs for sustainable transformation of digital innovation, policy orientation and policy dimensions for sustainable transformation of digital innovation, creating R&D opportunities, optimizing R&D organization, building ecological advantages, improving R&D governance, knowledge creation, enabling applications, collaborative promotion, standardizing management, national digital innovation system, digital innovation foundation, data governance capacity, digital security and other aspects of the conceptual framework of the basic policies for sustainable transformation of digital innovation. The research viewpoints and conclusions are of theoretical reference value for further research on key policy conditions for digital innovation, major policy impact effects and digital innovation governance mechanisms.

“…Blockchain applications in RECs are incremental innovations from a regulatory point of view, since they can be introduced in the current legal framework or require minor adjustments. The response of energy and data regulators is adaptive: to award legal recognition of the blockchain as a legitimate source of information on which commercial transactions can be based, including certification schemes (Amenta, Sanseverino, & Stagnaro, 2021).…”

Several renewable energy certificate (RECs) applications point out that the blockchain technology can be useful in ensuring the traceability and transparency of transactions, despite some barriers to its implementation, such as the legal and market development. However, it is not clear how the organizational positioning, in relation to its given market, influences the artifact developed. In this study, through design science research (DSR) and case study methodology, we structure the problem space of two different positioned organizations in the sustainability field, with blockchain-based applications to produce and trade RECs. We find out that: (a) the position of the organization in relation to other stakeholders changes the behavior of the technology adoption; (b) the technological solution preceded the perception of the problem; (c) organizations create different representations of the artifact for each stakeholder. We suggest other studies to deepen these findings in order to better develop theories that explain how organizations see their problem when developing technological solutions while using DSR.
