Reorganisation and Participation in Decentralized Platform Ecosystems: Evidence from Blockchain Forking

Dr. Ying-Ying Hsieh 

Dr. Ying-Ying Hsieh is Assistant Professor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Imperial College Business School. She is also an Associate Centre Director of the Center for Cryptocurrency Research and Engineering at Imperial College London. With a focus on organisation theory and strategy, Ying-Ying's research unpacks the coordination and governance mechanisms within blockchain-based decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). At a higher level, her research investigates how technological innovation enables novel forms of organising. Her research settings revolve around the context of the cryptocurrency industry (e.g., Bitcoin) and more broadly, the financial technology (FinTech) industry, with theoretical underpinnings of organization design and entrepreneurial strategy. Her recent work explores the adoption/diffusion and change of DAOs.
