“…In response to recommendations for longitudinal research on DAO and member trajectories (Lustig & Nardi, 2015;Sun et al, 2022;Tana et al, 2019;Yetis-Larsson et al, 2015), we conducted a 16-month study of the Nano DAO. The findings revealed a dynamic landscape of entrepreneurship within the DAO.…”

“…To gain a comprehensive understanding of this relatively unexplored topic (Tana et al, 2019;Yetis-Larsson et al, 2015;Sun et al, 2022), we employed a research methodology that involved studying the topic in real-life contexts and using multiple evidence sources (Yin, 2013). Due to the limited prior research on DAOs, we opted for a qualitative approach to collect information from informants about their entrepreneurial experiences (Maxwell, 2005).…”

“…Research on social dynamics and motivations within decentralized organizations is notably scarce (Lustig & Nardi, 2015;Sun et al, 2022;Tana et al, 2019;Yetis-Larsson et al, 2015). This knowledge gap is concerning given the significant variance in how participants perceive common currencies in decentralized communities (Lustig & Nardi, 2015).…”

Longitudinal evidence of entrepreneurial behaviour in a blockchain-based decentralized autonomous organization: Case study of the Nano cryptocurrency

The article aims to investigate how entrepreneurial behaviour among members of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO) changes over time. Decentralized autonomous organizations allow for the creation of distributed organizations driven by organizational entrepreneurship, many of which are based on blockchain technology. The self-organization of DAO members and their entrepreneurial behaviour are crucial to the organization's development. Research on entrepreneurial behaviour in DAOs is scarce. Cryptocurrency markets, blockchain technologies, and community sentiment can evolve rapidly, making it important to longitudinally research such organizations and the entrepreneurship among their members. Research Design & Methods:We formulated research propositions and combined qualitative and longitudinal interviews with entrepreneurially active members of a DAO with data science-based sentiment analysis of the main Nano community over the course of 16 months. Findings: The entrepreneurial behaviour of DAO members can hinge on external circumstances, such as the health of the overall cryptocurrency market. Partly resulting from a crypto downturn, some of Nano's entrepreneurially active members reduced their engagement and stopped or downsized their conduction of entrepreneurial tasks. This change was also linked to lower levels of community activity and deteriorating sentiment scores. Entrepreneurial tasks such as marketing or outreach to customers were conducted to a lesser extent. The resulting picture is one of a fluid state of entrepreneurship within this DAO. We also found internal factors influencing entrepreneurial behaviour, especially related to the distinction between technology-oriented and market-oriented members and their changing levels of activity. Implications & Recommendations:The findings highlight the influence of external factors -such as the health of the cryptocurrency market -on the entrepreneurial behaviour of DAO members. This suggests that the success and engagement of entrepreneurial individuals within a DAO can be subject to volatility and fluctuations in the broader market, emphasizing the need for adaptability and resilience. Contribution & Value Added: This is one of the first articles to address the connection between entrepreneurship and DAOs based on blockchain. In doing so, it benefits from a unique data set comprising quantitative and qualitative elements. Article type:research article

“…At the same time, the interconnection of information technology provides cities with a dynamic and precise management medium. External regulatory pressures, such as environmental information disclosure and real-time cross-organizational interactions, can push production sectors to achieve green technology innovation [ 38 ]. On the other hand, green technological innovation is the main factor of green development.…”

Can Internet Construction Promote Urban Green Development? A Quasi-Natural Experiment from the “Broadband China”

Broadband, as a key element of Internet infrastructure, plays an important role in breaking down barriers to the flow of production factors and promoting green economic transformation. Using the “Broadband China” strategy as a quasi-natural experiment, this study examines the impact and mechanisms of Internet infrastructure on urban green development by constructing a multi-period Difference-in-Differences (DID) model based on panel data from 277 Chinese prefecture-level cities from 2009 to 2019. The results show that the “Broadband China” pilot policy significantly promotes urban green development, with green technological innovation and talent aggregation playing important moderating roles. However, there is a certain lag in the impact of the “Broadband China” pilot policy on urban green development. Furthermore, our heterogeneity analysis suggests that the promotion of the “Broadband China” pilot policy for urban green development mainly exists in central cities, large-scale cities, and resource-based cities, as opposed to surrounding cities, small-scale cities, and non-resource-based cities. The above findings clarify the impact of Internet construction on urban green development and provide a theoretical and practical exploration for achieving a win-win situation of high-quality urban development and environmental protection.

“…Technology is an enabler, not the answer. How work gets done is dependent on decisions around use of technology, processes, and modeling of desired behavior by management and leaders (Yetis & Larsson, 2015;Bosch-Sijtsema et al 2011). It is also important for teams to have shared mental models (McComb et al 2015;Bearman et al 2010).…”

Recommendations for Virtual Teamwork Based on Human Factors Research

This proceeding attempts to review human factors research on virtual teams. The focus is on project-based teams of knowledge workers, the scope is to identify challenges specific to such teams, and the goal is to offer practical solutions. The criteria for working well together are teams that can define, execute, and deliver on work successfully, without excessive intervention from management and outside parties. Current research reminds us that humans are relational and social, which need to be fostered carefully in a virtual team environment. Current research also recommends that teams establish group norms and routines, use technology as an enabler, and be mindful of the constant need to reduce ambiguity.
