Research On The Interfirm Network Governance Based On Blockchain Technology

In the era of digitalization,interfirm networks ushered in new opportunities for development.In order to meet the needs of inter-organization cooperation and help enterprises in accordance with the trend of the times to achieve digital operations,the corporate network must be governed.However,for an enterprise network with a large number of independent organizations and complicated management content,it is a very difficult task for comprehensive governance.Opportunistic behaviors have repeatedly banned,occurred in the failure of coordination,and low information sharing efficiency caused many governance practices to end in failure.As a brand new and disruptive large-scale collaborative technical tool,the blockchain is widely sought after by academic and practical circles.Tracing back the source,it is not difficult to find that blockchain technology and corporate network governance have concepts and governance content in terms of "trust","real","sharing" and "collaborative".The characteristics of decentralized data storage technology and automatic execution of contracts allow the organization to store and share information in a seamless,transparent and tampered manner,and provide a "new method for execution protocols and implementing inter-organization cooperation and coordination".While improving efficiency,it reduces the inherent trading risks and provides new digital governance ideas for the enterprise network.In response to this phenomenon,this article conducts in-depth research on the network governance of the blockchain to help enterprises from governance,improve the theory of corporate network governance and achieve scientific governance.This paper follows the logical architecture of "Total-Division-Total" :(1)Starting from the dilemma and difficulties of enterprise network governance,based on technical governance theory,network governance theory,transaction cost theory,social exchange theory and information sharing theory as the theoretical basis,this paper summarizes the three main governance dilemmas of enterprise network governance through theoretical attribution and practical induction,namely opportunistic risk,coordination failure and information sharing difficulty.On this basis,the theoretical analysis of blockchain technology to solve the enterprise network governance dilemma is carried out,and the governance ideas of blockchain to help enterprise networks are systematically elaborated.(2)Based on the proposed blockchain technology to solve the dilemma of corporate network governance,this article has conducted further research on each governance content.Specifically,firstly,a blockchain-based enterprise network information sharing framework is constructed,and the subject strategy selection in the information sharing system is analyzed based on the three-way evolution game,so as to identify the influencing factors of enterprise information sharing.Secondly,a theoretical model of opportunistic behavior governance based on blockchain is constructed,and relevant data are collected by questionnaire survey and field research,and hypothesis testing is carried out using PLS-SEM method.Finally,a theoretical model of inter-organization coordinated governance based on blockchain technology is constructed,and the questionnaire survey data is used to empirically analyze the hypothesis.(3)Based on the above theoretical research results,three different levels of corporate network governance are proposed from the three different levels of micro(cooperative enterprise),middle view(inter-firm network),and macro(government).This article draws the following main conclusions:(1)identifying the dilemma of corporate network governance is: opportunistic risk,coordination failure and information sharing,and found that blockchain technology is conducive to solving the problem of corporate network governance.(2)In the corporate network information sharing system based on blockchain technology,the simulation results prove that initial will,information sharing risk factor,information sharing,sharing cost,reputation incentive,pre-deposit,and punishment coefficients affect the main strategy of information sharing.The key factor for selection,and the incentive coefficient only affects the stability of the strategy without changing the strategy selection.(3)The technical characteristics and governance mechanism of blockchain both help to curb opportunism behavior,and there is an interactive relationship between them,that is,the automatic executable and contractual governance of blockchain technology can replace each other when explaining opportunism behavior among organizations,while the distributed consensus and relational governance of blockchain technology can complement and cooperate when governing opportunism behavior.(4)The distributed consensus and automatic execution of blockchain technology have a positive impact on the coordination of the organization,and there are some intermediary effects between blockchain technology and coordination between the organization.Among them,the coordination planning affects the existence of boundary conditions on the coordination of the organization,that is,the joint collaboration planning strengthens the direct role of coordination between the interorganization trust and the intermediary role between the coordination between blockchain technology and the organization.(5)Based on this,this article further puts forward several countermeasures and suggestions from the three different levels of cooperative enterprises,interfirm networks,and government.This article realizes three aspects of innovation:(1)Expand the application scenarios of blockchain technology,innovatively extend to new scenarios of enterprise networks,break through the technical limitations of blockchain research,and effectively release the value of blockchain.(2)The enterprise network information sharing framework based on double-layer blockchain is constructed,and the governance logic of blockchain technology to solve the information sharing dilemma is clarified,which provides a feasible guidance tool for breaking information islands and promoting data flow.(3)Using blockchain technology as a governance means to effectively solve the governance problems of opportunistic risks and coordination obstacles faced by enterprise networks,and enrich the theory of enterprise network governance.Through the in-depth mining of blockchain governance,the means of enterprise network governance are enriched,and new insights and practical guidance are provided for the benign interconstruction of network chains.In summary,this article has established a complete set of basic ideas and governance plans from the perspective of blockchain governance to solve the dilemma of corporate network governance,in order to provide a systematic empirical foundation and having a systematic and good governance theory of corporate network governance theory.Targeted and operable countermeasures,on the one hand,are conducive to the overall improvement of the micro-behavior specifications of the enterprise and the overall value of the corporate network value,and on the other hand,it is conducive to the expansion of the scene of the technical value of the blockchain.
