Overcoming the Data Transparency Trade-Off: Designing a Blockchain-Based Delivery Invoice System for the Construction Industry

The paper designs a blockchain-based delivery invoice system for construction that navigates the data-transparency trade-off of coopetition, structured around three design objectives (secure data exchange, collaboration, and competition) and derives three design principles from expert evaluation.

Summary

The paper designs a blockchain-based delivery invoice system for construction that navigates the data-transparency trade-off of coopetition, structured around three design objectives (secure data exchange, collaboration, and competition) and derives three design principles from expert evaluation.

Artifact

A blockchain-based delivery invoice system (Hyperledger Fabric) for the construction industry.

Methodology

Design science research; expert evaluation; addressing the coopetition data-transparency trade-off.

02

DSR grid

Six dimensions represented in the current paper record.

01

Problem description

Blockchain-based delivery-invoice exchange in construction faces a data-transparency trade-off in coopetition: collaboration benefits versus protecting competitively sensitive data.

02

Input knowledge

Coopetition; the data-protection goals of confidentiality, integrity, availability and authenticity; Hyperledger Fabric capabilities; construction and supply-chain-management literature.

03

Research process

Design science research: literature-based derivation of design objectives during data collection, followed by nine expert ex-post interviews from which three design principles were derived.

04

Key concepts

Blockchain technology, data transparency, delivery invoices, construction industry, supply chain management.

05

Solution description

A Hyperledger Fabric delivery-invoice system that balances secure data exchange, collaboration and competition. Solution-space representation: Instantiation (prototype) plus three design objectives and three design principles.

06

Output knowledge

Three design objectives (secure data exchange, collaboration, competition) and three design principles derived from expert evaluation.

3 Design Objectives

design-knowledge/delivery-invoice-transparency-do1

DO1 - Secure data exchange

Ensure fundamentally secure data exchange within a decentralized infrastructure, focusing on the data-protection goals of confidentiality, integrity, availability and authenticity for delivery invoices.

design-knowledge/delivery-invoice-transparency-do2

DO2 - Collaboration

Support the collaboration aspect of coopetition, using network effects (e.g., Hyperledger Fabric) to enhance the overall construction planning process between participants.

DO3 - Competition

Account for the competition aspect of coopetition, using decentralized networks and access controls so that security, trust and transparency are strengthened without exposing competitively sensitive information.

DP1 - Implement a decentralized solution when network effects outweigh complexity

Implement a decentralized solution when the advantages of network effects in a coopetitive market outweigh the challenges of implementing such a complex solution.

DP2 - Implement private data collections and private channels

Implement private data collections and private channels to safeguard inter-organizational data exchange processes from being disclosed to unauthorized third parties.

DP3 - Augment private data collections with additional privacy-preserving technologies

To ensure complete confidentiality of data, it is necessary to augment private data collections and channels with additional privacy-preserving technologies.
