| dc.description | A new foundational technology is emerging expected to bear great impact and reshape the financial
industry. This technology is called blockchain. Further, blockchain is challenging the status quo of
business models by distributing the control of data, opposing the currently reigning platform logic
which seeks to centralize control, consequently, a tug-of-war of control emerges between the two
logics. This dichotomy is reviewed through a case study with an abductive approach in the context of
a financial institute owned by municipalities where our purpose is to answer what blockchain structure
that should be deployed to support a cooperative lending platform. Our findings show that a
blockchain consortium is the most supportive structure to apply in this type of platform. Our
theoretical exploration of the private, public and consortium blockchain types aims to contribute to the
blockchain literature. Consequently, as our findings explore business impacts of a financial institution
they can be operationalized by cooperative organizations. | sv |
