This position paper discusses the challenges of blockchain applications in businesses and public sector related to an excessive degree transparency. We first point out types sensitive data involved different patterns use cases. then argue that implications blockchains' information exposure caused by replicated transaction storage execution go well beyond often-mentioned conflicts with GDPR's "right be forgotten" may more problematic than anticipated. In particular, we illustrate trade-off...

The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the concept physical objects equipped with identifying, sensing, networking, and processing capabilities being connected to Internet. Architectures for IoT typically rely on transmitting data centralized cloud servers processing. Although services are supposed enhance in storage, computation, communication capabilities, this approach often generates isolated silos requires trust third parties operating servers, which become single point failure. In...

Supply chain literature has long recognized the benefits of information sharing. Researchers and practitioners see high potential for improving processes, enabling new replenishment policies, enhancing supply integration. Even though technology represents a vital role as driver success factor implementing sharing, established technologies still do not reflect highly decentralized fragmented characteristics complex often global chains. Early research shows that blockchain might be an enabler...

Abstract While decentralized finance (DeFi) has the potential to emulate and, indeed, outperform existing financial systems, it remains a complex phenomenon yet be extensively researched. To make most of this potential, its practitioners must gain rigorous understanding intricacies, as information systems (IS) researchers. Against background, study uses multivocal literature review capture state research in DeFi. Thereby, we (1) present consolidating definition DeFi (2) analyze, synthesize,...

Owing to increasing regulatory pressure and the need for aligned information technology (IT) decisions at interface of business IT, IT governance (ITG) has become important in both academia practice. However, knowledge integrating determinants consequences ITG success remains scarce. Although some studies investigate individual aspects its impact, none combine these factors into a comprehensive integrated model that would lead more complete understanding concept. To address this gap, our...
