Summary
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.
Artifact
A blockchain architecture for coopetitive supply chains (construction industry) with privacy-enhancing technologies.
Methodology
Design science research; systematic literature review (23 items); iterative stakeholder engagement; evaluation against design objectives.
