Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize securities settlement systems, offering an efficient, reliable, and cost-effective alternative to traditional methods. Its features, including distributed data authenticity, programmability, and scalability, can enhance security and efficiency in China’s securities market, while promoting a sustainable energy future. However, to fully leverage the benefits of blockchain in securities registration and settlement, it is crucial to address algorithmic loopholes and operational risks associated with smart contracts. Establishing blockchain technical standards and rules is also necessary to ensure smooth system operation. Furthermore, given the uncertainty of the final settlement time point, adherence to decentralization principles and the incorporation of embedded technology for supervision are essential. Legislative measures are required to regulate smart contracts and mitigate systemic risk effectively. This will ensure a stable settlement time expectation and enable fair allocation of legal responsibility among the involved parties. Additionally, other regulatory approaches should be implemented to provide effective supervision and adapt to the rapid development of blockchain. By addressing challenges and risks, blockchain’s full potential can be realized, enabling a sustainable energy future, while enhancing security and efficiency in China’s securities market.

“…On the basis of the benchmark regression results, we further examine the relationship between innovation heterogeneity and hidden champions' growth in the case of different enterprise natures, industry concentrations, and enterprise life cycles. The research findings provide valuable empirical evidence to better understand the impact of different types of innovation on hidden champions' growth (Ghadiri Nejad et al, 2018;Ahmadi and Ghasemi, 2022;Arabian et al, 2022;Barenji and Nejad, 2022;Ghasemi et al, 2022;Golabi and Nejad, 2022;Goodarzian et al, 2023c;Ibeanu et al, 2023). Furthermore, we explore the mediation mechanism between innovation heterogeneity and hidden champions' growth and demonstrate that the degree of specialization plays a mediator.…”

“…Our research extends studies of the growth of hidden champions. Research on hidden champions has often revolved around the discussion of their strategic lessons but has focused less on how companies can become hidden champions and how hidden champions can ensure sustainable growth (Ahmadi Choukolaei et al, 2021;Babaeinesami and Ghasemi, 2021;Goodarzian et al, 2021;Ahmadi and Ghasemi, 2022;Arabian et al, 2022;Goodarzian et al, 2023b;Goodarzian et al, 2023c;Momenitabar et al, 2023). Scholarly literature agrees that innovation is an important factor in promoting hidden champions' growth, including the growth of hidden champions.…”

“…The resource-based theory states that valuable, scarce, and hard-to-replicate resources can bring sustainable competitive advantage to enterprises, and technology, with its specialization and competitive barriers, is a unique resource that drives the sustainable growth of hidden champions. However, due to the difficulties in data acquisition, empirical studies on innovation and the growth of hidden champions in the Chinese context are still scarce (Ahmadi and Ghasemi, 2022;Arabian et al, 2022;Barenji and Nejad, 2022;Goodarzian et al, 2023c). Therefore, our study aims to explore the relationship between innovation heterogeneity and the growth of hidden champions in China.…”

Innovation is a crucial factor for hidden champions to gain a competitive edge and foster organizational growth. This study focuses on Chinese-listed hidden champion firms between 2010 and 2019 and examines the impact of innovation heterogeneity on their growth. The study explores the impact of different types of innovation, including overall innovation, product innovation, and process innovation, and their interaction effects on the growth of hidden champions. The study also investigates the mediating role of the degree of specialization, which refers to the extent to which a firm focuses on a particular area of expertise. Furthermore, the potential of blockchain technology in advancing a sustainable energy future is becoming increasingly apparent. By enabling the creation of decentralized energy markets, blockchain can facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, into the grid. This can help to reduce carbon emissions and promote the transition to a low-carbon economy. The results of the study indicate that innovation, including overall innovation, product innovation, and process innovation, is significant for hidden champions’ growth. Moreover, the study reveals that product innovation and process innovation have complementary effects on the growth of hidden champions. The degree of specialization also plays a mediating role between different types of innovation and hidden champions’ growth. The results of this study provide empirical evidence to improve the growth of hidden champions from the perspective of enterprise innovation. By focusing on different types of innovation and understanding their complementary effects, firms can develop a more comprehensive innovation strategy that can enhance their growth potential. Moreover, the mediating role of degree of specialization highlights the importance of aligning innovation efforts with a firm’s core competencies to achieve sustained growth. This study contributes to the literature on hidden champions by shedding light on their innovation strategies and their impact on firm growth.

“…A system named "BlockTrial" has been developed to facilitate users to execute trial-related smart contracts on a private network [38]. A blockchain-based solution is introduced to manage consent information between patients and stakeholders [39]. To deal with the dynamic nature of consent management a blockchain-enabled framework has been presented [40].…”

Clinical trials are research studies performed on people that are aimed at evaluating a medical, surgical, or behavioural intervention. It is a primary way that researchers find out if a new treatment, like a new drug or diet, or medical device is safe and effective in people. In this paper blockchain technology is embedded in a digital twin aiming to improve the quality of clinical trials through the boost of data integrity among the quality-related activities, and to promote participants' safety. First, a blockchain-embedded quality-enabled digital twin is proposed and the interactions among the enablers and peers are highlighted. Then, a prototype of the proposed system is developed, and the data of a pilot trial is used to justify the applicability of the system. The results showed that the proposed system is efficient, and hence it is feasible to adopt into a clinical trial. With the successful development of the proposed system, it is promising to provide effective data integration and knowledge management for improving participant safety.
