PhD defence: Tomaz Sedej

The thesis explores the potential of enterprise blockchain technology and its implications for inter-organizational relationships (IORs) focusing particularly on inter-organizational management accounting and control practices. It consists of three independent, yet interconnected research papers. The first paper reviews literatures from four pertinent areas of IORs, with the explicit objective to synthesize extant knowledge about these topics, and discuss the potential implications of blockchain in each of these areas. The second paper discusses how and why organizations voluntarily engage in the process of technology standardization through collective action on an industry level. The third paper explores the process of building collaboration, focusing particularly on specific blockchain system configurations with implications for the system’s governance and transaction hazards.
