Striking a balance: Designing a blockchain-based solution to navigate coopetition dynamics in supply chain management

The paper suggests a blockchain architecture tailored to the construction industry that manages competition dependencies and privacy in coopetitive supply chains, deriving eight design objectives: data protection, accountability, decentralization, performance, interoperability, traceability, transparency and automation.
