Blockchain Technology in Innovation Management

Organizations need to be more flexible, agile, and develop a culture of change to integrate innovation to improve their competitiveness and growth. Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Blockchain technology are changing how companies interact with stakeholders. Blockchain technology is a decentralized distributed ledger, which can record the provenance of a digital asset and provide access to large volumes of data inside and outside of an organization. Blockchain supports AI to provide more insight, manage model sharing and data usage, and create a data economy.

This special issue of Innovations / Journal of Innovation Economics & Management aims to explore the potentials and impacts of Blockchain, especially addressing the trust, sharing, and privacy aspects in a business context. Authors highlight implications of this disruptive technology within different sectors of the industry.
