Cross-Case Analysis

This chapter conducts a cross-case analysis between the three case studies. The chapter starts with similarities and differences in the blockchain adoption process (Sect. 7.1); followed by the key success factors that influence blockchain implementation (Sect. 7.2); next the common barriers and solutions are summarised in Sect. 7.3; and the performance outcomes of blockchain projects are presented in the end in Sect. 7.4. The theories of the innovation process model (Flint et al., 2005; Su et al., 2011) and the practice-based view (PBV) are applied to analyse the blockchain implementation in the case companies.
