Unchaining Social Businesses - Blockchain as the Basic Technology of a Crowdlending Platform

Studying a crowdlending social business, the paper derives 17 objectives for a blockchain-based crowdlending prototype and evaluates the prototype against a non-blockchain solution, deriving generic knowledge on blockchain applications for social business.

DSR grid

Six dimensions represented in the current paper record.

Problem description

Social businesses face conflicting objectives (social purpose versus competitive advantage and financial sustainability), and crowdlending platforms need trustworthy, low-cost infrastructure.

Input knowledge

The Peffers et al. DSR process; social-business and crowdlending literature; market-design parameters; blockchain and smart contracts.

Research process

Design science research (Peffers et al.): a case study with a founder interview, a prototype, and evaluation against a non-blockchain solution.

Key concepts

Blockchain, social business, smart contracts, crowdlending, design science.

Solution description

A blockchain-based crowdlending platform prototype for social businesses. Solution-space representation: Instantiation (prototype) driven by seventeen design objectives (model / nascent design knowledge).

Output knowledge

Seventeen objectives for the blockchain crowdlending prototype, plus generic knowledge on blockchain for social business.

Design knowledge
