The Decentralized Autonomous Organization and Governance Issues

Abstract

Building on the groundswell of scholarly, practitioner, cultural, and investor interest in Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), the aim of this paper is to delineate the structure of a multidisciplinary research agenda on DAOs, as encapsulated in the edited volume Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs): Innovation and Vulnerability in the Digital Economy, highlighting therein the main areas of research promise and avenues of further enquiry. As such, the paper attempts to serve as a form of shorthand-guidebook for researchers interested in the domain of DAOs.
