“…The Outputs, Outcomes, Impact, and Timeline & scope sections of the model are filled with the results of a structured questionnaire of 30 blockchain leads in Latin America, where respondents were asked to rank the salience of each contingency outlined in the literature review, as well as providing their opinion on the suitability of blockchain and their views on the feasibility of diffusion within their country's public sector. The structured questionnaire is based on the methodology from authors on similar topics [21,42] The survey was sent to GovTech and blockchain start-up leads throughout Latin America. Choosing start-ups as a population is relevant as start-ups in blockchain and GovTech initiatives are usually directly engaged in multilateral developments and have in-depth technical knowledge [21].…”

Government corruption in Latin America prevents the region’s sustainable development and constitutes a failure of current systems. Governments have started to leverage new technologies to increase transparency and promote integrity within their processes. Among these, blockchain technology has gained traction as a promising tool for Smart Governance due to its unique properties in terms of immutability, trust, coordination, security, and transparency. The use of blockchain within Smart City initiatives is complicated by a lack of diffusion models. This paper develops a diffusion model for blockchain technology after analyzing three case studies and conducting a survey of thirty blockchain start-up leads across Latin America. The final model, named Smart Governance BT diffusion model, conceptualizes the diffusion of blockchain as a gradual process including inputs, a dynamic throughput, and outputs. Relevant for academics and government representatives alike, the model aims at improving the conceptual understanding of technology diffusion in Smart Cities and highlights the potential of blockchain as a mitigator of vulnerabilities to corruption. As initial conditions matter for its successful adoption and diffusion, it is recommended for Latin American governments to (1) redesign and digitalize their processes and legislation, (2) conduct a thorough cost-benefit analysis for specific use cases, and (3) reduce inefficiencies in areas with relatively medium to low levels of historical corruption in a first instance. The model can be tested and refined in future research and can be applied to any Smart City initiative requiring conceptualization.

“…In addition to regulating the development of blockchain technology is highly adopted by the financial sector. There is a need to deploy these applications in smart cities, Nagel et al in [56] introduced multi-layer taxonomies of smart cities business models for significant blockchain applications. [57] conducted an exploratory study to explain bitcoin determinants used as the information system.…”

“…Subsequently, we do not include papers in our sample that do not explicitly reference empirical or literature-based taxonomy design, e.g., mainly qualitatively designed morphologies (e.g., Azkan et al (2020b) or Labes et al (2015)). Lastly, we opted only to include peer-reviewed literature in journals and conference proceedings (Levy & Ellis, 2006) and one book publication (Nagel & Kranz, 2020;Nagel et al, 2019).…”

“…Furthermore, we can observe commonalities across taxonomies that focus on similar industries or technologies. For example, taxonomies in our sample dealing with the blockchain technology indicate whether the blockchain is public or private or what type of protocol (e.g., Ethereum or Bitcoin) is used (Nagel & Kranz, 2020;Nagel et al, 2019;Weking et al, 2020a). They are typically visualized as morphology, draw on selective sampling, and apply a theoretical lens in terms of design.…”

Designing business model taxonomies – synthesis and guidance from information systems research

Classification is an essential approach in business model research. Empirical classifications, termed taxonomies, are widespread in and beyond Information Systems (IS) and enjoy high popularity as both stand-alone artifacts and the foundation for further application. In this article, we focus on the study of empirical business model taxonomies for two reasons. Firstly, as these taxonomies serve as a tool to store empirical data about business models, we investigate their coverage of different industries and technologies. Secondly, as they are emerging artifacts in IS research, we aim to strengthen rigor in their design by illustrating essential design dimensions and characteristics. In doing this, we contribute to research and practice by synthesizing the diffusion of business model taxonomies that helps to draw on the available body of empirical knowledge and providing artifact-specific guidance for building taxonomies in the context of business models.
