Abstract

This paper examines the adoption of blockchain technology and the role of blockchain-enabled data empowerment in information sharing between two oligopolistic e-tailers. It analyzes three strategic scenarios: no use, single use, and dual use of blockchain technology for information verification. Findings reveal that data empowerment through blockchain plays a critical role in outcomes; high data empowerment capability leads to positive impacts from information sharing, while low empowerment can produce adverse effects. E-tailers are more inclined to adopt blockchain in low-cost scenarios, whereas in high-cost scenarios, they are likely to forgo it. In cases of moderate costs, e-tailers may adopt a mixed strategy.
