Distributed Ledger Technology: Innovation & Ecosystem Management

早期证据表明，区块链生态系统的参与者必须在不同层面解决技术、创新、治理和利益相关者管理方面的紧张关系：组织（内部创新发展和管理）、生态系统（联盟、平台出现）和个人层面（消费者、用户采用）。工业界、政府和研究机构必须联合起来，分享专业知识，正确调查这一现象，并最大限度地提高区块链技术对欧盟和全球实体的社会和经济影响。考虑到区块链技术存在于这三个不同分析层次（组织、生态系统、社会）的交叉点，如果不考虑在这些层次的交叉点上产生的动态，就不可能研究这种现象。DIEM联盟汇集了学术界、政府和行业专家，全面调查区块链技术的管理、经济和社会影响。DIEM是一个博士网络（工业博士），它为研究人员创造了一个平台，通过研究跨参与者和行业边界的最先进的挑战和区块链技术的社会影响，参与知识的共同生产。它有巨大的潜力对博士的职业生涯产生影响，因为将欧洲转变为一个能够在数字技术上建立竞争力的社会，需要培养新一代负责任的研究人员，他们有能力理解数字技术的根本转变如何影响企业、行业和社会。

Early evidence suggests that participants in Blockchain ecosystems have to resolve technological, innovation, governance and stakeholder management tensions at different levels: organizational (internal innovation development and management), ecosystem (alliances, platform emergence) and individual level (consumer, user adoption). Industry, Government and research bodies must join forces and share expertise to properly investigate the phenomenon and maximize the societal and economic impact of Blockchain technology for EU and global entities. Given that Blockchain technology exists at the intersection of these three different levels of analysis (organizational, ecosystem, societal) it is impossible to study the phenomenon without taking into consideration the dynamics that are created at the intersection of these levels. DIEM consortium brings together academic, government and industry expertise to holistically investigate the managerial, economic and societal implications of Blockchain technology. DIEM is a Doctoral Network (Industrial Doctorates) that creates a platform for researchers to engage in the co-production of knowledge by investigating state-of-the-art challenges and societal implications of Blockchain technology across actors and industry boundaries. It has a significant potential for creating an impact on careers of PHDs, as transforming Europe into a society capable of building its competitiveness on digital technology requires developing a new generation of responsible researchers with the competency to understand how fundamental shifts in digital technology impact across businesses, industries and society.
